Not exactly the same definition of vermin I'd use, I reckon you might get into trouble if you started laying down poison and traps for human 'vermin'
Plus it isn't really a sport is it?

I can't recall Sky sports broadcasting the world championships of fox hunting? Or beagles being transferred between hunts for multi-million pound deals.

It's like fishing, deer stalking, game shooting and all manner of other countryside pursuits that have been going on for years until people who don't know one end of a rifle from another (sadly) decided that mr foxy-woxy was too cute and cuddly to be a vicious killer and only needed a bit of direction in life to stop being naughty.

What happens to the fox at the end of the hunt is not pretty but thats life, a deer who doesn't get killed outright during a stalk isn't pretty, same as gamebirds that get winged or fish left wriggling after their heads get bashed in on the side of a boat.

I've never been on a hunt but I'm pretty sure the majority aren't swanning about in gold-plated range rovers. Instead they are people who live and work in the country and know how things work.
