It's population/pest control for sport. I don't think I am wrong there am I? Also I don't think it was made illegal to kill foxes to protect livestock, just the manor of chasing them and then setting the dogs on them? The first is quick, the latter would distress the animal and then led to a slow death?

One carnivore tearing another to shreds isn't 'torture'. It's what happens. It's nature. Tell you what, next time one of the chickens in next door's run gets 'tortured' by Brer Fox, I'll post a photo of it for you, shall I?

No you don't need to post a picture, but animals acting barbaric towards other animals doesn't give us licence to do the same to them does it? Dog's fighting each other is also nature but it's outlawed for humans to train and make them fight for sport, and rightly so.
