... to feel disgusted at fox-chasing toff-twits!

[counterpoint]

On my way to a local town for lunch today, we had to slow down and stop as a horse came galloping up towards us in the middle of the road. On his back sat a dandified twit who was looking for his hounds. In the nearby field some 100 (I kid you not) other starched twits sat on brainwashed horses with hungry hounds running amok. Traffic swayed and stopped as these twits had clearly lost the little sense they had and were dispersing all over the highway, horses looking dazed at being led among cars at great speed on slippery tarmac. Hounds confusedly sniffing all over the road and verges. How much had these twit-toffs drunk? It was not yet noon!

My friends in our car tried to calm me down saying it must be a drag when all of a sudden a poor defenseless fox jumped on the dry-stone wall looking wild-eyed as it tried to determine whether he was safer making a run for it across a busy road or turn back into a field of crazed, uncontrolled hounds and drunken (British?) twits. The fox froze and the driver of my car sped on as I screamed with panic for the predictable fate of the fox.

Why the f*ck is a supposedly civilized country allowing this kind of savagery to continue?

Guess it goes hand in hand with my opinion that people who hunt are sadistic psychopaths. Each to their own 🙈

I'd love to join a sab group. Knowing my luck i'd be the one to get trampled by some aggressive knob on a horse 😬

@DullAndOld I've only ever read about he hunters being abusive to the animals not the Sabs and have seen a lot of videos to back that up and I mean ALOT. Especially hounds.

Oh go on Mustbemad - join!!!

Why not?

Bernard your assumption that i've never seen a hunt is brilliant. No, I just decided one day that dicks on horses parading round with uncontrolled dogs was something i hated.

Been to several, hated every single one. My position has not changed. If people want to go out for a fast country ride then good for them. Leave the dogs at home & let the foxes alone

@Bernard46 correct but until then I will be continuing with helping them in any way I can.

counterpoint.

Has your fit of the vapours passed now, dear?

You're being a perfect GF Bernard yet still not answered the question why hunt? Guessing you literally just enjoy watching a defenceless animal get torn apart huh?

I have done a hunt ride but not the actual hunt. They were incredibly welcoming when I had to accidentally join on the hunt ride, and I would go again. No actual hunting involved

Mustbemad.

Hounds.

yes mustbemad.

I am psychopathic, inbred, twit toff in red with bloodlust, a penchant for incest and eats babies.

Bernard GF they're still technically dogs 😏😏 not answering the question huh?

Bloody knew it

Cos we like it cos we're inbred tofftwit psychos.

I already did.

Yeah sorry, for an inbred toff you move faster than my technology. My 'bloody knew it' was in response to your response!

They inbreed us well in the country!

I must have a word with my folks, they clearly must be country outcasts 🤔

I don't think casting aspersions on posters' ancestors' sex lives is really the way forward in a sensible debate now is it?

This is boring and you still can't provide a compelling and plausible argument.

Ooh I've changed my name in honour of you OP and TTCI.

I cam't argue with someone who is unwilling to listen TTCI. You are not interested in our reasons, only in abusing us so fill your ( Shiny non muddy Hunter welly ) boots....

There haven't been any plausible reasons. Just have the guts to say you like killing things.

So Bernard46 what would you have to say if some of your local non-townie neighbours objected to having the hunt on their land? This thread contains several reports of hunts going onto land where they are not welcome and of property damage caused. Also of posters with a long family history of country living saying they object. Do they magically become townies the moment they voice an opinion you don't think they should hold?

As far as I can see, there is good reason to believe the OP witnessed something illegal. Fox hunting, after a live animal, is currently illegal. Equally illegal actions perpetrated by some totally unconnected saboteurs at some different time or place are neither here nor there.
There is nothing to suggest the OP is herself a hunt saboteur or has any dealings with them.

I’ve never understood this. What is it that “bleeding heart townies” are missing? If it’s a few chavs in a basement setting dogs on each other they’re disgusting and deserve to die a thousand painful deaths, yet when it’s “country folk” on horses torturing a fox to death it’s a-ok?
