ban on fox-hunting

[ramjet]

man it is soo annoying that first off english heritage has been damaged as well as 1000's of people are going bankrupt.

let me explain to u city slicker out there that without us keeping foxes down then u will not have farmers growing fine crops anymore as the foxes eat them. no more chicken or turkey as once agen fox who may i add are vermin eat them.

also i love foxes and the new laws actually mean foxes get hurt more. u are not allowed to give it a quick virtually painless death anymore but u are only allowed to corner it and shoot it ONCE basically 50% of the time the fox will live and will have to hobble off to a painful death, slow lying down with any chance of life taken from them. in scotland the economy is down loads as foxes are up loads 1000's of good english farmers and horsemen with good skills have to find a new life.

i am by no means an animal hater. i love them as much as anyone ad agree that animals shud be treated as equals with humans TO A CERTAIN POINT but when there are all these dog food and this cat suffered adverts on telly it is too easy to forget that over 200,000 were killed in a tsunami and that 10,000 people die daily thru poverty. there is aids and of course the war on iraq whiich was supported by the conservatives by the way.

I say love animals but we must remember that humans suffer too.

just think about it

Foxes aren't particularly vermin, they eat to survive like any other creature does.

DON'T BAN IT... STUPID TOWNIE BLAIR

[G-flow]

blah! ban fox hunting, turn vegetarian!

[Jane]

I dont agree on fox hunting at all, i think it should be stopped once and for all

[SoraSafe]

A fox is chased for sometimes miles by dogs, horses and humans, imagine yourself being chased by someone for miles knowing that if you ever stopped you'd be killed.

[Jane]

If chasing helpless animals for the sheer joy is english heritage, im starting to wonder what kind of society we live in!

I couldn't agree more Janeh! And don't call me a "townie" or a "city girl" or whatever because I do live in a rural area, right next to some woods. And yes, my next door neighbour used to keep chickens and sometimes the foxes got them. But she agreed with me on fox hunting. Whenever we heard that awful horn our blood ran cold. Those are OUR woods and those hunters have NO right to be going around killing the foxes in our woods. They don't live anywhere near the woods. They live miles away in a nearby TOWN. A load of townies having a weekend's killing in OUR WOODS.
Fortunately, the village recently bought the woods, and voted almost unanimously to ban people from foxhunting in the woods.
The ONLY people who agree with foxhunting are those who are too close to see that what they are doing is utterly cruel and wrong.

KEEP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is an English Tradition and basically if that is banned, why not ban Eating Meat full stop

[BlackGarden]

So GommeInc, if it were a tradition for me to poke an owl with a red hot poker twice daily, you would ask me to please continue as it was a tradition. It used to be traditional to hang people. Bear fighting is traditional in some countries. Does that make it okay? These arguments of "tradition" are blind and subjective, and really miss the point as far as morality is concerned.
