Is the Fox hunting ban worth it?

[cand!hex]

Recently, I have thought of this, Because only 1 out of 16 foxes are killed by fox hunting using hounds. I know it is cruel as a sport, but there's many other cruel ways foxes are killed which haven't stopped. But yourselves, the people who drive cause the most death of foxes. Should the other ways of killing foxes be banned also? Instead of hunting with hounds.

The bans pointless in my opionon. Its like vegitrainism, people syas its not our plaec to eat an animal, whiel that same animal is eating other naimals, foxes kill farmers livestock, why is it the givemnst place to say they cant kill them, Athogh they stil our allowed to poisnen them, wich is an Inhumain thing, as they get to suffer for a few weeks, yet noone complasin about that?

Foxes aren't vermin in particular, if you put it that way anyway that would make humans the worse vermin on earth.

Yes it is worth it ! it is very cruel what they do to those animals for fun. It is just wrong. How would they like it.

Techicly speking killing a fox or any other animal is no worse than swating a fly or killing a mouse.
Nether are conisos, so nether would cair, there complty insticnt driven.


Also cuting down a tree is killinga living creature, anotehr non conusios one, so very littel diffrence, yet ive yet to see a campain to stop trimming hedges.

But partie2 there's many other ways which are more cruel. Did you know they spent the same amount of time discussing the fox hunting ban as discussing about Iraq? :P I do agree it is cruel, but they should be stopping the other cruel ways also.

Foxes are vermin, they carry disease from what they excrete, eat and urinate. They role around in excretion and urine, they are discusting animals, if they went extinct nothing would happen! Birds of Prey would be the masters of rabbit hunting!

I personally think the ban is worthless, you cannot stop people killing foxes, farmers shoot them, dogs hunt them. It is a valuable Tradition of English Culture and I back up tradition! Blair is planning on getting rid of the queen and the pound and I want these kept!

Forget the ban, save tradition!

The government is acting on what these stupid animal rights protesters say.

I love foxes personally. I've only seen 2 in my life and they're beautiful looking creatures to me...

[Mined]

Its Cruelty and should be stopped, its completely wrong in my opinino, and should definately be banned

I couldn't care less about animals.

I am totally against the fox hunting ban. Without hunting with hounds alot more farmers livestock will be killed resulting in loss of money. This is also many peoples full time job, so why raise unemployment??? It also keeps the animals fit and in shape; there will be no "hunter trials" for horses and many hounds will be killed as they have no use if the ban proceeds.
It brings communities together and in my opinion the most humane way to kill foxes. And before people say stuff about how the fox gets ripped appart-well as soon as the hounds get the fox and kill it - usually the hunt master takes it away and the fox stays in tact. So........

KEEP TRADITION, KEEP THE HUNT!!!!!

Just because other animals kill them, makes it ok for you too? It's ok for you to shoot your neighbor, as long as you aren't the only one shooting him?

What's more valuable, a few hundred bucks, or a life? ;)
KILL ANIMAL KILLERS lol ;)

Dont kill foxes then your indeirectly reponciuble for many more animals deaths. that would still mean your an animal killer.

Plus ever swated a fly, thers littel diffrnec between killing one of them and a fox, plus if youve ever eaten meat your also an animal killer under that logic.

Other animals die coz of us.. why do people strongly beleave they should be banned ?

If other animals die just aswell as foxes

We kill other animals, which we shouldn't, so now we SHOULD kill MORE? :s

And Mentor- that is why I don't kill flies ;) although I do eat meat. *Feels guilty*
