Yes,loads of them who once they catch the Fox after exhausting it by chasing it for ages, rip it to pieces alive.

It's like something from the dark ages, to see so called civilised people enjoying this act is really sickening to me.

Harry has been brought up to think it's normal though,so that has to be understood from his perspective too. It is part of his life and upbringing but that should never be a valid reason to nominate him for eviction on BB, since that was the reason given by the housemates then those nominations should be disallowed from them.

I hate Fox hunting,I do hope though Harry gets saved by the public this week.

It's as good a reason as any when you only know people a few days.

If it was a tribe in Africa or in the Amazon doing it, we'd excuse it and call it "cultural", but because it's in England, we call it barbaric.

Just like when Native American's kill buffallo, it's beautiful, or when eskimo's kill seals it's traditional, isn't it beautiful that they continue their traditions, but if white canadians kill seals it's barbaric.

Sorry but that is just ridiculous. African and Amazonian tribes hunt to surive. Eskimos kill seals to survive, not because its tradition. Canadians slaughter seals for "tradition", Norwegians slaughter whales to prove how "manly" they are, British and Irish chase foxes to exhaustion on horse back and then let dogs rip them to shreds, because its FUN!!1!!1!

There is absolutely no comparisons to be made, and I'm kinda shocked that, that needs explaining.

When Canadians of ANY colour club baby seals to near death and then skin them alive - THAT is effing BARBARIC!

It's laughable that Big Brother allowed the nominations for him that were because of his fox hunting.

Impressed with the line up and the show has been good so far, but that took the piss.

Don't agree with Fox hunting, but still not a good reason to nominate him. He's an easy choice like people have said.

Fox hunting is a much less disgusting habit than fake-tanning and fame-whoring.
