Go on then, runaway from the argument, discount your double standards. The fact you dismiss it out of hand weakens your viewpoint and quite frankly makes you look stupid.

What a strange world you live in.

It's wrong to chase down a wild fox for say a few hours, inhumanely (some would argue not) killing it with dogs for sport. If indeed you catch it.

But it's perfectly acceptable to keep domestic farm animals, in inhumane, miserable, depressing factory conditions for any length of time from which there is no escape, because eventually you're going to eat them, perhaps.

I'm not confusing the issue, because unlike yourself I haven't got conflicting principles.

Surely if you campaign for the rights of one animal to be treated humanely, then surely you should campaign for the rights of all animals to be treated humanely.......regardless of the situation be that hunting or farming. Or in your eyes should one animal have more rights than another?

You side stepped the angling point but I wont bother pursuing you on that.
