I say repeal the ban on condition that it's made legal to hunt fox hunters using motor vehicles and guns. The odds are pretty much as fair for them on horses as they are for foxes being chased by them and a pack of dogs.

While we're at it ban all hunting that isn't hand to hand or sustenance. If people want to follow barbaric customs they can do it in the manner barbarians would, not with modern technology or the assistance of tamed animals.

Not a huge fan of horse riding to the extent it's done in the UK, nor the feudal system of land ownership generally.

I would hope the context is pretty clear that I'm referring to hunting in general, hence in the case of some of it hunting rifles and shotguns.

The odds were fairer to the fox pre ban, one hunt reported killing more foxes in one day after the ban with the aid of rifles than it did in the entire year previously. You're including fishing in your sweeping ban proposal?

Neanderthal hunting, now that would be fun to do.

Since when have fishermen been seen baying like animals and spreading the blood of there victims on the new members of there club. Since when have fishermen ripped there fish apart when still alive for fun ???. Fox hunters are Neanderthals simple as that reminiscent of a barbaric age where we killed for fun and sport.

Neanderthals killed to eat. They hunted animals and gathered nuts, berries and cereals in order to survive. Being successful in that context means killing cleanly, only taking what you need, when you need it, and not frightening away your food source by yelling and screaming. "Neanderthal" is possibly the worst description for someone who hunts for recreation, regardless of the method they use.

In any case, I always thought you had a principled objection to the unnecessary suffering and death of animal life - it seems from what you're saying now that you're just a class warrior. Or am I misreading you?

Misreading me, i don't care what there class is. I asked about the fishing because it's there first line of defense in all conversations about fox hunting ;)

Twunts will be twunts.

Fishing is tricky as, of course, they can generally be put back to carry on with their life and aren't as smart as mammals. Between that and their short memories it's tempting to say that it's okay but, to be honest, it isn't, at least for recreation.

Once a fox has been killed to satisfy the blood-lust of a bunch of Hooray Henries on horseback however it's a slightly different equation.

Hooray Henry hunting I can, however, get on board with.

EDIT: I should add that I'm also in favour of a ban on hunting rifles / shotguns without a damn good reason to own one. I don't consider the view that shooting largely defenceless animals is an essential pre- or post-getting hammered on champagne and gin on a weekend activity as a damn good reason. A good quantity of the twunts who engage in such behaviour likely spend the majority of their waking time in urban environments and are about as rural as I am.

Well, those who didn't inherit half the country do, as they may actually have to work for a living. Albeit in a job that pays a ton but they are completely inept in that mummy/daddy got for them post-public school.

Now that is class warfare ;)
