How about snaring them, nothing inhumane about gnawing your own foot of or slowly being strangled to death.

Your cat population might be even larger without the foxes.

Hardly humane snaring is as bad as shooting I'm no fan of the social side that went with hunting but it did have a practical benefit.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

That just leaves setting your eagle owl on them then, doesn't sound massively humane either does it (btw there was a heavy hint of sarcasm in my last post, gnawing your own foot of because it's caught in a snare is truly horrific, as is a slow lingering death riddled with pellets)

Another child attacked

"I felt sick, I had phoned RSPCA twice. It killed a cat the night before.

"If it was a dog, that dog would be put down. I don't see no difference in a fox, OK it's wildlife.

"It's attacked a child and they're still not taking it."

If it was a human doing this they would just go to jail!

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

Jeremy Hunt is going to repeal the ban if he can get a majority he claims, I doubt he'll get that majority but it's outrageous more time in parliament is going ti be wasted on this

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

He's getting desperate.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

Bring back the death penalty and corporal punishment will be next ! Along with a tax on vegetarian food and anyone with a beard....

The ban was only introduced because of over £1m in donations to Labour from the Political Animal Lobby.

Cash for Answers and not the only case.

A lot of Parliamentary time was wasted on it.

There was a case, where before the ban, a local hunt stopped hunting in a certain area after a request by the RSPB. The result was that the fox population increased dramatically and decimated the nesting birds on the coastal area.

Soya has to be imported and so should have a "green" tax applied to it. It's not environmentally friendly shipping it across the Atlantic.

Making socks compulsory for anyone who dares to wear sandals? I'd vote for that and so would the Tory faithful ;)

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

I'd simply tax socks. But our climate isn't suited to sandals or barefoot through the year - most uncivilised.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

But according to climatologists it will be soon;)

True - but mostly underwater so flippers?!

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
 

Pure unadulterated populism*. He knows that the majority of the country is against the repeal of the current ban on fox hunting.



*in this case, a corrupted form of populism where the "populace" is small in number and have very strange views ..

If your a liberal undemocracpot they might look strange.
