Seems to me that the argument for speaking out when the Govt takes away the rights of people do something is a much better argument that the argument that it should be banned because its done by aristocrats, who (shock, horror!!!) enjoy the chase.
we should and have acted to try and safeguard against savage killings in relaton to fox hunting, just because its killing the same as animals to eat, doesnt mean we shouldnt do it
at least we are doing something because we can, not because we should
This is wrong on so many levels.
Most of the species has evolved past the point of death for fun.
Where does being a vegan come in to it? At the end of the day, the fox that is killed for fun by the 'civilised' part of society isn't eaten.
you sir are a troll
please dont, i dont like the smell of it
Sorry, how is it hypocritical?
Judging by your posts, you're not.
You obviously know fuck all about Darwin.
If I chase a fox with some hounds, watch it get ripped to pieces and then trot off to inbreed the dogs and breed more foxes, suddeny I'm civilised and it's a sport.
What the hell is the difference? An animal is an animal. If ya ain't gonna eat it why kill it?
Problem solved!
Fox preservation and hunting being allowed at the same time...simple.
and yes ...it will be bird shooting and fishing next ...
greyhound racing and horse racing after that ...keeping pidgeons ...having a goldfish ...
mind you ...we'll all be tagged before long so who cares ...hang on ...aren't we already tagged every time we carry a mobile phone.
your building a fucking wierd world ...
When I was younger my mates and I spent many a time shooting rats on the farm I worked at. Was a good laugh.
And as a greenkeeper we used to have fun lamping to 'control' the rabbit population. We didn't eat them but the way they dug in the bunkers meant they were a pest, so me made an occasion out of shooting them.
And then there were some particulary nasty traps we used on moles so that we didn't have to keep shoveling tumps - we use to quietly celebrate the day when we managed to kill a little bastard who may have been destroying the 9th tee or 18th green
Hunting is enjoyable, (even if you don't eat the animal) - Sorry but it's the truth.
Killing a hound is OK but killing a fox isn't?
This argument isn't even about Fox preservation.
But what proof do we have that foxes need culling?
To be honest hunting without eating the catch has always seemed pointless to me, not fun (however I'd love to go hunting or fishing and eat what I catch).
this isn't a fun day out ...these hill farmers have money to earn and little time to waste ...a lot of hill farmers earn very little money.
but they are all agreed ...before lambing etc ...as many foxes as possible will be shot ...it's called living with nature. living on the land ...and to live on it sucsessfuly you have to know it.
as for hunting with dogs ...don't you think the fox feels a little like a gazelle seeing a lion running up ...oh fuck i better get a move on ...animals kill ...humans kill ...not always for food ...
well said, i can see that point of view but fuck them, silly farmers they don't know the meaning of the word ecstacy and having a mad night, silly bastrads.
