ban on fox-hunting

[Jane]

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.

An excellent point, maybe be should start fighting these " traditions " which to me seem inhuman!

moratlity isnt pre defined it is tought, what you think is wrong, others think is right, and vica versa, i DISAGREE with the govemnet, Telling people what they have to do, and what is right and what is wrong.
Like the stupidity about loweing fat in food, I think its my choise to eat helthy on unheathy, Unless your an idiot, you are shoruld be aware that if you eat fattening foods every day you will become fat, i bleive its a person choise not the govemnt, the same thing with fox hunting.
Im against what britan is becomeing aka "the nanny state"

[SoraSafe]

We aren't a nanny state nor are we becoming one, most things banned by the government were primitive traditions made up by our ancestral monarchs.

The govemnt half the time is ither making public place cut down trees, as there apprntly dangeros, forsing fast food to change repies so are helther, (nice tasting food .. is now.. some plastic like slop). Inforcing pointless laws, and planning to enforse more. Id call that becoming a nanny state.


PS, wich primative traditions?

Yes, it is a Tradition, but, that would hurt the owl, the Hounds kill the fox instantly and most hunts don't catch anything!

Hanging went with the Rule if someone has commited a Hanus Crime, they should be murdered themselves etc

Bear Fighting went in England when the bears went DUH. Yes it does make it ok, we might aswell stop wrestling.

Are you saying blankly that we humans, who have teeth and limbs to hunt and eat meat should stop just be cause we are hurting an animal? It is life DEAL WITH IT!

Also if we were about to be hit by a Nuclear Bomb in under 3.3 seconds, lets go Ban Fox Hunting than save our lives! I don't think so, kill foxes save ourselves! That is what you are also hinting!

I would rather have important rules that will come of some help be enforced rather than save the smelly foxes law.

I feel that people that fox hunt are inhuman! What have foxes done to us? And i dont regard fox hunting as a hobby it's sick watching them being ripped apart by heartless people's dogs.

[la-ur-en]

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

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

I have to say GommeInc, that is the best advice you have ever given!

I don't agree with fox hunting, you said that farmers will 'have to corner them and shoot them, and 50% live' Actually, that is not true, as they are banning completely the shooting of animals, and some people who do fox hunting aren't JUST farmers, they are just ordinary people with a stupid hobby, and they don't use the fox for anything (skin, meat) so they just leave the body there to rot away, and also they usually let a dog rip it apart, which is like us ripping each other apart, as dogs and foxes are the same species!
I say, ban fox hunting, FOREVER!

Gommeinc brother used a foxes skin in his gsce art if im not mistaken,

Anyway hanging is included as a stupid tradion, yet from other topics, people seem quite fine to let americans eltricute prisoners to death ?
