The other thing I don't like is that the hounds on the hunt can actually become so wound up that they will rip any small animal that crosses their path to pieces (I have seen photos of this). Assuming you own a dog (I don't know if you do), how would you feel if you happened to be out walking the dog in the woods, and the dog was ripped to pieces by several hounds from a passing hunt?
 Why shouldn't the government stick it's nose in to this? It's something a lot of voters feel quite strongly about (whether for or against). Why should the Government stand by and allow creulty to animals (even vermin such as foxes)? |
Since when have foxes been vermin. Surely the human race is vermin. As we have done much damage to the planet more than what foxs has done . We kill chickens , so do foxes! But we kill more than just that dont we??. As I have quoted in my last post previous to this. It would be nice to see the hunters become the hunted . When you have the advantage where is the sport in that.? Where is the challenge.? There isn't one simple as that. How manyn people are there that have even seen a fox besides a picture.? I start to think why?????????
The Farmers where I live banned the hunts on their land many years ago. Due to the damage that they do tramplin all over their land. Even dogs have been killed over this. It's a farmers right to kill dogs that stray on their land. I even know one farmer who did shoot some dogs on a hunt and I was one of the hands that blasted them. Legally of course
