i rather think it's the people who are incapable of building a fox proof chicken coup ,that seems to be the main factor in bringing it back ,

"the vermin keep getting my chickens"

we are supposed to be the superior species on this planet so building a fox proof chicken coup shouldn't be beyond the wit of man

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

But that would spoil fox hunting the SPORT

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

I don't see anything wrong with fox hunting, and the killing there of.

I regularly use demestos to kill microscopic organisms by the billion.

I regularly kill flies, spiders, woodlice etc with the base of my shoe.

I caught and killed 2no. moles this year that had been making a mess of my lawn.

I have caught fish and killed them, sometimes eaten them sometimes not.

I regularly kill mice via traps and poison.

I have eaten the meat of a whole range of animals.

Is it just because because people see the fox as a lovely little fluffy bag of fun, who also used to be Robin Hood that they get so wound up about it?

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

However I am sure a local cricket club would far rather have to spend time collecting fox droppings than have the hunt ride over the pitch in pursuit. :Yikes:

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

Has this ever actually happened (besides one instance of an EarthFirst report, which I can find no other validation of)?

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

I find it laughable that in thread people keep throwing in these specific incidents, I don't know if they are true are not.

But if this is the case then the Cricket Club would have grounds to claim from the hunt organisers.

Just because, in the past, an errant hunt mistakenly trampled a cricket pitch is not ground to ban the activity.

your from yorkshire so its not your fault

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

Let me ask. When you killed these moles, mice, fish, various insects and other organisms, did you go after them with a full compliment of horses and dogs? Did you have those dogs running amok killing whatever small animal they actually find including family pets (which does happen)?

The reason I ask is simple. As I have pointed out, I personally have no problem with the foxes being killed (they *are* vermin). What I take issue with is the fact that hunts try and make a spectacle of the death. That, to me, seems sick and quite possibly an indicator of being a serial killer.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

That's quite funny coming from someone who has just likened a fox hunt to using Domestos to kill microscopic organisms.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

I live in Yorkshire, I'm not from there.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

Quite possibly the most outrageous statement yet, serial killers derive pleasure from killing animals themselves at a young age in some cases, only 2 of the huntsman even see the kill and non should be participating in it.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

I don't see what the method of death has to do with it.

With the moles I used a Mole trap, which no doubt meant that the mole had quite a painful and agonising death.

Fox's run amok and kill family pets. The common family pet cat is a favourite quarry of a fox.


No it's a sport, that may or may not result in the death of a fox.

Like it or not it's a tradition of this country, much like bull fighting is to Spain

Incorrect,

You failed to get the point of the post.

The point was that people, and I'm sure many people on this thread that object to fox hunting, kill, or by way of their lifestyle, promote the killing of many various lifeforms everyday of every week.

Just because the fox looks similar to cute dog, they get all emotional about killing one.

It's much the same way people get all emotional about Whales, Dolphins, Polar Bears and Pandas, whilst 100's of other not so cuddly species go extinct every year.
