I wasn't saying it was bloodlust. To be honest it sounds a lot more like a posh day out to me. Which is fine by me, provided they don't inflict needless suffering to animals. Anyone who claims pest control is the reason for having a fox ripped to bits by a pack of dogs with 20+ people on horseback in tow is just taking the proverbial. If they want their day out, fine. But do it in a humane way. If they want to control the fox population: do it in an efficient way. Just shoot the buggers, and make it as humane as possible.
It's not strange to suggest that needless suffering should be avoided when there is a need to kill an animal is it?
