It's not a sport, nor is it pest control, it's a country pursuit.
And in this thread many, many, many, times.
I have stated my case that this was not a ban to save the poor fox, it was just an affront by the so called working class Labour party (which they are far from being) against the assumed rich country toffs.
And if fox hunting is banned, there are many other bloodsports and forms of hunting that should be banned also, but aren't. It's not equitable.
And then you get all the city idiots, that know sod all about the countryside spouting their drivel, as the post I derided.
I don't fox hunt, I never have, but if people want to saddle up and go for a ride with their dogs and kill a wild animal whilst they're out. Fine by me.
I'm not a hypocrite,
I'm not a vegan,
I eat meat no doubt much of which is factory farmed in which many animals lead sad and depressing existences, but neither do I campaign against that.
I eat fish line caught, trawled and farmed - First two of which are not a nice way for fish to end its life and the last not a nice way for fish to live, But neither do I campaign against that.
