Since when have fishermen been seen baying like animals and spreading the blood of there victims on the new members of there club. Since when have fishermen ripped there fish apart when still alive for fun ???. Fox hunters are Neanderthals simple as that reminiscent of a barbaric age where we killed for fun and sport.

Twunts will be twunts.
Fishing is tricky as, of course, they can generally be put back to carry on with their life and aren't as smart as mammals. Between that and their short memories it's tempting to say that it's okay but, to be honest, it isn't, at least for recreation.
Once a fox has been killed to satisfy the blood-lust of a bunch of Hooray Henries on horseback however it's a slightly different equation.
Hooray Henry hunting I can, however, get on board with.
EDIT: I should add that I'm also in favour of a ban on hunting rifles / shotguns without a damn good reason to own one. I don't consider the view that shooting largely defenceless animals is an essential pre- or post-getting hammered on champagne and gin on a weekend activity as a damn good reason. A good quantity of the twunts who engage in such behaviour likely spend the majority of their waking time in urban environments and are about as rural as I am.
Well, those who didn't inherit half the country do, as they may actually have to work for a living. Albeit in a job that pays a ton but they are completely inept in that mummy/daddy got for them post-public school.
Now that is class warfare |
Unfortunately at least 43% of fish caught and released don't continue to live their lives quite happily, they die within six days, you get the hook anywhere other than their lip and it's be more humane to bang them on the head than throw them back

What about hunting with an eagle owl or golden eagle, any real difference between that and the guy with the sparrow hawk in Trafalgar square controlling the pigeons.
Can't believe this could be going back to the commons
