So foxes kill for food. oh dear Oh dear Oh dear Big bad fox. Don't humans KILL for food. Don't humans kill chickens. Oh yeah thats different aint it.......

If foxes need to be culled then it should be done by pest control experts and not a bunch of blood thirsty clowns on horse back with a pack of hunting dogs seeing the death of the animal purly for ENTERTAINMENT.

I usually agree with you on most things bananarama, but on this issue I don't.

Hunting has been a part of our culture for centuries. For a lot of country folk it is a way of life most townies fail and refuse to understand. It's also wrong to presume that only hooray-henry's go fox hunting. That's the sort of image the anti-hunt lobby like to portray in order to get support.

Would you rather chickens get ripped apart by a fox with their remains scatterered over a small area depriving that farmer of his income, or humanly killed in an abortoire to end up at the frozen food section at your local supermarket for human consumption?

I believe we should eradicate the fox completely from these shores. The creature is vermin and I am fully behind fox hunting and any means to see this creature killed whatever means possible.

Tally-ho!
