Well presumably they see the aftermath and the fox running for it's life. The sport is in hunting it down. I still think it's wrong regardless of how many people witness the kill.
A lot has been made of the class issue. Maybe some people object to the practise because of those who participate but that isn't the real reason why this is objectionable. We wouldn't tolerate it if people who may be described as 'working class' took to the marshes to hunt foxes with bulldogs. We don't tolerate people abusing their dogs or their cats. I mean what's the difference other than the amount of ceremony involved?
