To hate the disingenuous, lying, underhand Hunting Brigade and there ongoing campaign to bring back fox hunting

[Boomingmarvellous]

I hate fox hunting with horses and hounds. It's cruel and barbaric. That's my only objection. I don't mind shooting foxes if they are predating livestock like chickens and lambs. The rest should be left in peace to maintain their place in rural life.

The Hunting brigade and the Countryside Alliance have lied about everything to support their 'sport'. Not least the mass euthanasia of hounds and horses and loss of countryside jobs if it was banned. 10 years on it is more popular then ever.

They still 'accidentally' kill foxes who stray across their path. Why? Because the trail they lay is still concocted to smell of foxes. They have had 10 years to raise hounds to follow a different scent. Dogs can be trained to pick up the scent of anything so why stick to fox? Of course it's because they knew if a conservative government got in they would change the law back again.

Thank you SNP for scotching that idea.

As my dear old fil used to say, "If a fox gets yur chickins, then yur no good at keepin' chickins."

You're agar fox hunting but your DH belongs to a shoot.

That makes no sense to me whatsoever. Either you don't like animals being killed for sport or you do.

We're out with Yorkshire Farmers on NYD. They hunt The Clean Boot. Can't wait! Tally Ho!

tobysmum, you said you shouldn't follow the law blindly if you disagree with it. I was simply pointing out the consequences of following that philosophy

No I didn't.

Most laws are not worth breaking.

Planter, I think (in italics) that it is different if you eat what you kill.
(Don't shoot me)

Why would people care more for a fox than a fish? Is it because it has fur on it?

Yes, because it's cute

I have enjoyed reading your comments. You are obviously very knowledgeable on this subject. I wish people would listen to what you are saying and perhaps they would understand how it all works.
