I thought that poor people went hunting as well?
I'm interested to see what you come up with in response.
Total rubbish.
If you want to know, read the previous thread on the ban. If not, I don't care.
(a) how is it going to make any difference
(b) they don't give a fuck about their animals anyway
(c) if they did, they would keep them
(d) foxhounds are not dangerous animals
etc etc. It's hypocritical manipulative bullshit and the reason you're not trying very hard to defend it, is 'cos you know it's bullshit.
at least they'll die an honourable death if there is such a thing for an animal, they're not going to be chased around a field by a lion or something and mauled to death, are they?
If an animal were to have an honourable death, surely the chase would be it? Interesting potential philosophical debate there. The chase is the natural order for animals, that's what they'd want?
Who wins.
They just love killing it seems.
As for the horse being dead anyway, when was the last time you just found a dead horse? Course they killed it, to make a point.
Blagsta how well do you understand the countryside and the people that live and breathe it? To be fair I don't know that much myself (despite living here most of my life) but I know the people that do. These people love their animals, love their countryside - they are the only reason we still have one. Their passion for hunting of all kinds ties in with the upkeep of the estates and their daily lives. Most of these people arn't toffs - they're farmers, horseriders, gamerkeepers, forest workers, and generally the people whose jobs depend on the hunt i.e horse trainers, dog handlers and kennel owners, rat catchers etc.
Aladdin unless you are prepared to tell me you are a vegan you are being severely hypocritical when it comes to your view on the cruelty of fox hunters. Obviously out of sight out of mind. It really makes me laugh how some of you can get so wouynd up by such a little thing as fox hunting.
You're right, usually they're made into glue, pedigree chum or shipped of to France. As I've said it's out of sight out of mind for you lot.
As soon as you see a dead horse it's 'OMG, fucking bastards' it's not as though many of you even see a horse on a day to day basis anyway (probably have to go to the city zoo or somehting) - and how many of you know how to ride?
Animals die, get over it.
You can eat a steak and nobody would mind, if you ate a human steak I'm sure that people might get a bit bothered.
There is a difference.
certainly no favours for those of us who agree that hunting has fuck all to do with the government.
it was sick. extremely fucking stupid and ...has outraged me ...a person who doesn't hunt foxes with dogs but believes people should be allowed to.
now ...i believe they have seriously shot themselves in the foot as extremists of any kind usualy do.
this has damaged the case for hunting beyond belief and if they all get fucking strung up now ...yes because of the behaviour of a minority ...? ? ? tough.
Do you have a dog or a cat? If you do, I trust you would not get wound up at all if I came around and set it on fire for amusement. At the end of the day, it's only a small silly animal right?
It's a myth that everyone in the countryside approves of hunting. Plenty don't.
Read the post I was replying to. :rolleyes:
Not that the reasons of the banning should be based on class anyway- though it is very fair to say that the ONLY reason hunting with dogs wasn't made illegal a long time ago is because it's an upper class hobby.
Up until the day the fox is killed I can asure it has lived a far better quality of life than the animals that get served up on your plate.
And if you only disagree with shooting when it's for food how do you propose to keep fox numbers down after this ban. I suspect that snares will be a far more common way of dealign with foxes after this ban anyway. I pretty awful way to die to be honest. Take hours.
No it's my pet. Likewise if you shoot and eat my pet I would be equally pissed off.
We use animals for diferent purposes - most of them we eat.
I'm sorry you got the impression I was talking about everyone in the country, I was talking about those involved in hunting (of all sorts).
Because that's what it implies. Read it again.
That's how it read. The CA represent only a small minority of country people, mainly rich landowners.
