Horse racing is hardly cruelty, they love it. I despise neglect which is cruelty.

Vivisection is torture carried out by sadists.

Most of them are really, I chose fox hunting because as a Child I saw a fox torn to pieces once the hounds got it, its a picture in my mind that's never left me and my disgust at the pompous so called well to do Men on horseback laughing at it is beyond all limits.

Could we have a multi choice on the poll, please? I went with Fox hunting, but there are a few there that come VERY close to that.

Surely factory farming & vivisection are worse than fox hunting?

If you think that that should be others opinions, then why the need for the poll then? You asked what others thought, not if they agreed with your choice? I think most of those in the poll are equally bad if pushed, however we were asked to choose just one, which is why I asked if it could be made a multi choice instead.

Which says it all really As it doesn't mean it should be the way of life. If animals have to be slaughtered, then the quicker the better. Not as in Fox Hunting at the ripping of an animal to bits. I don't blame the dogs who have that instinct in them heightened by training. Animals in the main kill for food, some humans for pleasure, as seen by the Fox hunters treating it as a game, and bloodying themselves. They are more barbaric than any of the animal kingdom.

Im all for fox hunting now. Having seen how theyve killed off most of the little bunny wabbits that used to be all over fields in parks near me.

cute rabbits>>evil foxes

Generally we can't avoid animal cruelty. We breed them then kill them to eat. No way of making that look humane. Its just a fact of lifes food chain.

i understand what your trying to say zippy,but some of these fox hunters dont even kill them for meat,sometimes they kill them for clothing or they kill them so they leave there part of the land (which i understand the latter reason) but i still believe theres better ways of dealing with foxes in that situation.

I dont really know why Fox Hunting is winning, it's a lot more necessary and justified than factory farming

because its seen as a rich mans sport so theres a lot of class resentment. And a lot of ignorance about the problems foxes can cause. Theyre not cute and innocent.

Yes that about sums it up and also some people just arent in touch with life in the real world, I wonder if half of them realise fox hunting has been banned in Scotland since 2002 and in England and Wales since 2004.

I think maybe we should also introduce bear, bull and badger baiting into the debate and watch the "shock and horror at mans inhumanity to little cute furry things" posts snowball.

I think the biggest form of animal cruelty in the UK is the neglect and abuse faced by domestic animals, particularly dogs not being exercised sufficiently. The amount of overweight cats and dogs, being force fed all the left over chocolates and other goodies at christmas and easter etc,

But what is really the lowest form of animal abuse, dogs being forced to wear silly clothes etc, they lose their self respect that way you know, its then a easy slide into doggie depression.

Is it any wonder cats eat their owners after they die?
