Fox hunting?

[Oracle.]

Sorry if this has been posted many times before :rolleyes:
But i feel strongly for this.
Fox hunting has got a really bad reputation, and now its been banned im furious
We are now made to do Paper Trails around a woods, and the first person to the end wins. :eusa_whis
I'm sorry but this is stupid.
No wonder this country is falling apart. People are stopping traditions in England which have been going for hundred's of years. Okay, okay its animal cruelty, but when we were allowed we hardly caught anything anyway! :@:@
Farmers especially are annoyed as foxes are eating chickens, geese and ducks and its rather annoying.

I just wondered on your views?
I didnt mean to offend anyone this is just merely my opinion

Yes I do agree. I really hate foxes as they completely cause havoc to the livestock and are very cunning. I do think that the way they are killed, however is inhumane and should kill the foxes with a bullet to the head.
Its a difficult debate as you can sympathise with both sides but I think there should be some form of negotiation such as continuing the fox hunting but when the hounds bring out the fox, they should immediately be put to death. Whether that would occur though is a different matter.

You must have problems in your head if you have an urge to chase after something and kill it. And they have to eat to survive, sorry to say.

I haven't seen a fox in my area for ages since wheely bins were given out. Why should they be killed anyway? Foxes are predators just like us.

They come back. Trust me, I keep poultry and made the mistake of thinking it wouldn't come back. Killed my brooding hen and the 5 chicks.
I'm not going to let them eat my livestock either. They can go find food elsewhere but to me they're a pest. They'll never stop since they have a real taste for it.

Bring it back i say, banning the hunt is like banning cricket

Then shoot them or something. If you have an obvious problem with them then deal with it. I think it's pretty twisted though if you ride around on a horse chasing something for the fun of it. Perhaps it is a tradition - unfortunately times move on. Slavery was a tradition, as was living in caves and many other things we no longer do. It's called modernisation for a more civilised society.

I thought it was only illegal with hounds?

[N-Dubz]

they have to get food from somewhere and they shouldnt be shot for trying to survive.

running around looking for them is just cruel.. thats when there not doing anything to you at all..

[Swearwolf]

its ok to shoot them but the normal fox hunting is wrong no matter what anyone says and im more than happy its banned.
