Page 15 | Husband is insistent on joining trail hunt tomorrow

Not happy. I know they trail hunt but they still take dogs and have their fair share of the sabs.

It’s a total smoke screen and my husband wouldn’t remain so if he went on one. I feel that strongly about it. It’s barbaric and the question of eating meat is totally unrelated. This is chasing a terrified exhausted animal to its death. Why would anyone choose to put another living creature through that?

The vast majority of hunts are done legally. You and other pps appear to be demonising a whole industry for the actions of a tiny minority.

We take our children trail hunting and absolutely love being part of the hunt community. There is nothing like the sound of the bugle and seeing the horses and hounds out, especially on boxing day.

We also shoot game and our children have grown up with partridge, pheasant hanging in our outbuildings. Our friends bring us venison.

We also have a small holding and know how to care for animals well. The children collected eggs and mucked out from 2 years old. We only buy high welfare meats. We have rescue cats roaming our land & ex battery hens. We love animals.

It's not a good person/ evil person debate.

Just because you’re “kind” to a few animals doesn’t take away from the fact you support and enjoy a cruel and disgusting “sport”

Why can’t you just ride your horse?

I don’t hunt, but have no issue with others following clean boot hunts / hunts following a set trail hth

For me it would depend on the reputation of the hunt, we’re between two packs here, one is very transparent, has set routes and does everything to the letter of the law to the extent that even the sabs don’t bother them, the other is awful and is definitely using it as a smokescreen to actually hunt foxes.

Surely this isn't a sudden revelation or is it just that it is fairly topical at the moment, weird

Tattiana · 28/12/2025 22:25

To be fair no one needs to be hunting for food in the UK 🫤

I couldn’t be with anyone who thought terrorising Animals was a fun or valid activity.
it’s as if you’re saying- my husband is going to do a bit of child abuse with his friends tomorrow. What do we think?

No it isn't.

I'm absolutely opposed to trail hunting, as I understand what it usually leads to, and I think it's barbaric and cruel.

But I don't think it's akin to child abuse, and I think it's insulting to child abuse survivors to suggest that it is.

OP, I would be surprised if his desire to do this has suddenly arisen from nowhere. It's something he has done before, yes? What did you say to him the last time?

TwistedWonder · 28/12/2025 22:25

I couldn’t have got with a man who thinks any sort of hunting or shooting is acceptable. It’s repulsive and anyone who partakes sickens me.

bozzabollix · 28/12/2025 22:23

It’d be divorce for me I’m afraid.

MrsSkylerWhite · 28/12/2025 22:23

You surely knew this when he became your husband. If you didn’t care then, why do you now?
Nice try.

Where I live people hunt and fill their freezers with food for their families. It’s pretty hypocritical to complain about hunting if you eat meat and the people hunting have a valid permit and follow the rules.

Will they not consume what they kill?

Hunting for pleasure and hunting - and killing in the most humane way possible for food - are not comparable.

Tattiana · 28/12/2025 22:21

Sabs?

MCF86 · 28/12/2025 22:20

It isn't hunting for food though is it, that could be done with minimal stress and pain to the hunted. It's hunting for sport.

Have you ever seen a fox get torn apart? Have your kids? Do you all enjoy it?

Rachie1973 · 28/12/2025 22:18

I remember sitting on Forest Gate’s with pockets of aniseed balls to distract the pack.

couldn’t be with a hunter.

MissyB1 · 28/12/2025 22:17

Yuck, couldn’t be with someone like that!

I couldn't stay with someone like that, hunting animals down and terrorising them with dogs is disgusting.

Urgh absolutely vile. Makes me feel sick. I couldn’t be with anyone who thinks this is a good way to spend time and have fun.

What do you think op

Pepperedpickles · 28/12/2025 21:07

Well that would be the end of the marriage for me. Absolutely disgusting.

Yeah, I couldn't be with someone like that.
