I don't personally have the answer to that, but riding on horse-back with hounds would do no good   |
I'm not being patronising - I'm pointing out a logical inconsistency in your position. You accept that trapping and releasing farmyard rats is impractical, but that simply underlines the inconsistency in your argument. How do you balance your compassion for animals feeling pain with that impracticality?

I do read the other posts on here, and that's why I am aware of your scarcely concealed joy at getting one over on those you perceive to be from the upper classes. Please don't try to use the political sympathies of other anti-hunt posters in this thread as a fig leaf to disguise your personal prejudice.
Re 'innocent': please give more detail on your understanding of the concepts of guilt and innocence as applied to non-human species.
