Although Parmnion I did just see this pop up on FB and they do have a valid point as well. If it were a gang of lads from a council estate setting their Staffies on a stray cat or even a Fox they would be (rightly) called scumbags, I see no difference between the two scenarios

So how about if they want to go fox hunting, they must pay a penalty (A huge sum) pay to play? That's a compromise. |

How is that a compromise? People are against it because of the cruelty to the animals, getting money for it doesn't solve that

Bull fighting is part of the Spanish culture but not all cultures are good.

A lot of city people aren't aware of the sister of fox hunting called 'cubbing'. Cubbing is for young or new riders, horses and hounds and will happen in the autumn if May gets her wish. It involves litters of fox cubs contained within coverts. Ever heard of canned hunting? this is what cubbing is and its so unbelievably barbaric that we can never allow this to come back.
I used to run a livery yard and the hunts were a nightmare because they didn't need permission to encroach on my land. We had to sedate the horses and keep them in because there was a high chance of them injuring themselves if a hunt got close. Farmers generally hate the hunt and see them as disruptive and damaging to both land and property. Fox's can be a problem to new born lambs and calf's. Not so much to chickens because nowadays we have adequate deterrents . I used to keep chickens on the farm and never lost one to a fox. I love hunting btw but what I do is drag hunt. A sport which is fast, furious, exciting and does not involve the killing of an animal. I've never been fox hunting and I'm told that compared to drag hunting, its pretty slow and boring.

It's a silly argument to make especially considering that a war wouldn't change the lives of the average citizen anymore and hasn't done so for decades. Life would carry on because the way wars are fought now are completely different to how they were fought in WW2. |

Nothing wrong in shooting the fox humanely if it becomes a pest I suppose. Unfortunately I don't think drag hunting quenches the bloodlust in some and they still break the law. Perhaps a vote to put it all to bed once and for all will show people it is never going to happen and they can adjust their thought patterns, if not then heavy fines or jail might do the trick. As to the actual vote, people need to make sure their MP is fully aware that they find it unacceptable and will oust them at the next opportunity if they don't take heed. |

Pest control often use dogs, should that be stopped?
They kill rabbits, hares and foxes. |

The course is set out and the jumps have to pass safety measures, so horses are less likely to get hurt. A scent is put down which the hounds follow, followed by the horses. Its between 8 to 10 miles in length and because its so safe, its fast and exciting for both the horse and riders.
The thing about fox hunting is, there are many riders who live in the city and keep a horse or two on a hunting yard. They are often poor riders with very expensive warmbloods, being cared for in expensive equestrian yards (though you do get some seriously good riders too.) I used to work for a barrister who kept two hunting mares over in Suffolk. I went over to ride out with him one weekend and it was funny riding beside a man who neither had a clue about horses or how to ride them and yet this is a man who regularly hunted and jumped five bar gates! It was clearly a case of 'hang on and hope for the best'.
