If you could actually be bothered to get your arse and do something about a cause you feel strongly enough about instead of being an armchair critic like some then good on ya

The reason he hit me was because i was in his way so i then hit him back after i pulled him off his horse. We both ended up in front of the beak over it, I was 17 at the time and he was about 30. BTW i would do it again tomorrow if the same situation happened.

At least I have brains, it would appear I am somewhat advantaged over your goodself in that dept.

I supposed to feel sorry for you? You want sympathy? Is that paragraph above in someway supposed to defend your actions?

You went to disrupt what was, at the time, a legal leisure pursuit.

You, no doubt, put yourself in the way of the rider and therefore caused the incident, you then pulled him off his horse and then "enjoyed" hitting him.

You make me sick, you're just a thug. What do you do for kicks nowadays go down the canal and assault anglers?

I am on about those who carry out Fox hunting and are brainless morons who have a blood lust and don't care who gets in the way of there SPORT.

Take out the two words "fox hunting" out of that sentence and you just pretty much described yourself. Oh the Irony.

Mindless drivel but if that's how you feel fine, I know where i stand and will never change my mind when it comes to those morons who carry out and support fox hunting.

Before anyone get's themselves into trouble I'd suggest you all wind your necks in a little and avoid the little digs at each other.

I think any sport which involves the killing of an animal, for some sick pleasure, should be banned

Those taking part after said ban, should be jailed.

Could be because the thread is years old and now has 967 posts in it. There's nothing to be said that hasn't been already ...

Why not close it then?

Because we're not the thought police. We close threads when they get disruptive or abusive, which may happen as a result of them starting to go round in circles, but not necessarily.

At some future point somebody will only start a new thread about the same issue..Which will go in the same direction.

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.

All I want is for animals to be treated as animals ,not as qasi humans.I want them treated humanely and with respect.I however don't want to see people's livelihoods and interests interfered with either provided they treat the animals they deal with humanely.

Fishing is NOT a sport it is hunting for food.Fox hunting is not hunting for food it is a sport just as is badger baiting,dog fighting and cock fighting and all of the latter are illegal for good clear reasons.

However from time to time it may well be that us humans have to take responsibility for the welfare of the animals in our environment and that may mean killing them.As long as it is done with thoughtfulness and kindness and humanely I shouldn't think anyone can object.
