Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
Because it was sunbathing, I expect.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
Because, unlike shooting at random, it ensures the strongest survive?

Because some people take great pleasure in killing animals for fun and sport. There just a bunch of Neanderthals to be honest and one day they might grow up and join the human race.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
What has sunbathing got to do with it?

I personally believe that fox hunting continued long after the ban was introduced

You asked why a fox was sitting in Spreadsheet's back garden.
I think you're right, hunting continued and continues. It is remarkably difficult to criminalise an activity enjoyed by such a large number of people, as Blair discovered as he chucked hour after hour of parliamentary time at it. It is even harder, however, to enforce a law which has criminalised the pastime of so many ordinary people.
You who think killing animals for sport is "Neanderthal", when do you plan to start sabbing anglers? Or is that "different"?
Hey look, a four year old thread just started again from page 1 ...

We have an hierarchy when it comes to killing animals which is generally based on how intelligent they are (or how cute they are) so killing a fish is different to killing a dog or a fox. We know this is true, it's just the way it is. It's why we feel no remorse for killing a fly but hate the idea of killing a cat or a dolphin. If all animals were equal then killing humans wouldn't be that out of line either really. There is a clear order of acceptability. So it is different.
I think it's odd to want to kill animals for sport. To enjoy killing animals. I admit I am happy to have them killed for my food, which is a bit hypocritical. However I don't enjoy seeing animals in pain, I would never intentionally harm an animal such as a fox (flies? no problem). I think there is something wrong if that empathy isn't present.
