If the whole essence of your arguement is that the foxes are a pest and that you are hunting them to control their numbers, then why are you disputing the ban? Under the ban you can still shoot and trap the foxes, so why does it matter that you can't do it on the back of a horse or with your dog?

I think the ban should happen even though the ban doesnt cover trapping and shooting

Consideing, if you think about it ALOT more foxes will die becuse of the ban.
I mean, farmers can still kill them becuse there pests. But now they cant hunt them, so the foxes a farmer may allow to live on his land, so they can be hunted, now he will just shoot to get rid of. So basicly the ban will be responcible for more foxes deatsh than it saves.

I see aswell and I think it is very true.

Fox Hunters are hired by Farmers, Fox Hunters are not always successful in catching a fox.

Therefore, a farmer gets his trusty gun out, and a gun is more acurate than a fox hound.

Well i would prefer if no foxs are killed but if they are killed by a gun and not by a savage dog killing them. If they get killed by a gun it is a quick death and not a long drawn out death like it is when foxs are used.

You do realise, they dont know when they're being killed dont you?

It may be sick to us but to them, they have no conscious so it wouldn't hurt them, Foxes arent like us you know, if they were, they would be second smartest animal and could probably act way different they do now.

[partie2]

so are you saying foxs dont feel pain

[GommeInc]

Yep,

they haven't evolved enough, they may yap occasionally, but I think if you have your skin ripped to shreads, some parts would be num and some parts would have no feeling, that would be if the fox had feelings like us.

A fox however, does kinda feel pain, but not in the painful way, they only yowl and yap as it is an instinct to when in pain.

They feel pain, not in the snece a human was. to them its just. Your under attack, stay alive. As they are not conisusos they do not cair, humans are the only animal alive at the moment that does have the mental capasity to cair. A fox isnt aware that its alive, its brain funcction doent get beoned, Get food, get water, reporduse, sleep, run im under attack (or attack back if its bigger).

[partie2]

what do you mean foxs do feel pain but not in a painful way !

so are you saying if they dont stand up and say oi that hurts stop it then its ok.
