AND, if you were a bit more responsible and bothered to put up a fence in order to keep your chickens safe, you wouldn't have to worry about foxes getting them!

Same with sheep, Nicky.

Costs such as this one should be considered before taking on the responsibility of caring for these animals.

Its cruel, pointless and actually evil
Killing a poor animal who hasn't done anything just for abit of fun. Its just wrong

It makes me feel sick. I actually feel like vomitting, when I think of people killing poor defenceless animals as a SPORT? People who do this are barbaric, cruel murderers. IMO, it is simply unacceptable and I dread to think, that if this happens in todays world, what it could be like in 30-40 years time. Who's next? Us?

For.
I have been myself before, on my horse.

*Bows head and prepares for insults*

Thats one of the ignorant views.
So what you are saying is we put up huge metal fences all over the country side, that go under ground and 5ft above to stop the foxes?

D'ya have an idea of how much that would cost, and how it would scar the landscape?

I agree
and I didn't steal your thread Bigbr0ther, It only inspired me to have my own different one.

against it... what is the point of it

If you want pest control in your own home, you plant a mouse trap. You dont dress up in your sunday best, get pissed, sound a trumpet, and chase the mouse with a pack of cats.

I love when toff's try and justify it as pest control when their is CLEARLY recreational enjoyment involved.

****ing sick.

Im not for it but i do think there are positives in doing it.

My brother used to do pheasant and lamping ( you wont want to know which animal that is)

What is the difference between killing a Mouse with a mousetrap, and killing a Fox with dogs?

Me & my friends were discussing this the other day, and it's really annoying when people who live in the middle of a city give their big opinions on it without actually having much knowledge about it at all...

Saying that, I am against it, but I don't really care about foxes at all, I just don't like the culture of it and I find all the justifications for it really weak...

Err, I already explained that in the exact post you quoted. Did you read it?. They clearly make a spectacle of it, so its obviously not just for pest control. Its for enjoyment.

The fact that its eight dogs with men on horseback? Or is it the champagne? Or the trumpets? Or the dress?

I'm against it, but not actively. I personally would never get involved in it, but I understand why people want to.

I also think that a lot of people who claim to be "against it" are merely lashing out at their idea of countryside-dwelling "snobs" and toffs. They'll shout "OMG ITS CRUEL" but blindly.

The fact that people swat flies, spiders, squash ants, chase pigeons...yet object to this because you can SEE the blood, is ridiculous.

only evil people would kill foxes :(

You don't drink champagne when you ride

" dont kill me you fcker "

*sigh*
Look, whatever they drink before or after. I dont know. I have not been snooping around their drink cabinets.

It takes a pretty sick person to go fox hunting and convince himself that it's a somehow ethical thing to do.

You mean the sadistic pleasure that the hunters get watching a fox getting chased by wild dogs then getting ripped to shreds a bloody and painful death?

That's the only positive I can think of.

Are there any positives for the fox, and not just the hunters?

It should be banned. It's cruel.

mmm i am against it you know.

I just read up on it and apparently they can die in agony not all as you said getting ripped apart doesnt always happen...


I dont see why people care for foxes they dont care about many other animals... like pheasant n that.

For! Anybody in power and are against are bringing this country down to its knees! Just to get shafted by another!

I want a Great Britain not a great soft britain!
Because of the wacko lefties we have more foxes on our streets, going into our rubbish, attacking farmers fields and killing chickens.. The country side lose out in making money which it needs and we gain a pest to roam around because wacko lefties think their lovely little cuties... :yuk:

Whats next BAN FISHING??

LOLOL

This is a whole 'nother debate, although I don't see what's so amusing about the idea.
