I don't see what the method of death has to do with it.
With the moles I used a Mole trap, which no doubt meant that the mole had quite a painful and agonising death.

Did you have those dogs running amok killing whatever small animal they actually find including family pets (which does happen)?

Fox's run amok and kill family pets. The common family pet cat is a favourite quarry of a fox.

The reason I ask is simple. As I have pointed out, I personally have no problem with the foxes being killed (they *are* vermin). What I take issue with is the fact that hunts try and make a spectacle of the death. That, to me, seems sick and quite possibly an indicator of being a serial killer.

No it's a sport, that may or may not result in the death of a fox.
Like it or not it's a tradition of this country, much like bull fighting is to Spain

Incorrect,
You failed to get the point of the post.
The point was that people, and I'm sure many people on this thread that object to fox hunting, kill, or by way of their lifestyle, promote the killing of many various lifeforms everyday of every week.
Just because the fox looks similar to cute dog, they get all emotional about killing one.
It's much the same way people get all emotional about Whales, Dolphins, Polar Bears and Pandas, whilst 100's of other not so cuddly species go extinct every year.
