Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
Surely the difference is in choice? I'm against fox-hunting, not keen on pugilism, but think it's a step too far to ban boxing where it involves two consenting adults. It's a trade-off, rather than hypocrisy. The fox has no choice, the boxer has. And I have a choice to not watch the boxing.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
This is a pointless thread.No one is bringing back fox hunting and it's the samo samo bickering between two divergent opinions about the humane or otherwise treatment of wild life.
This going around in the same circular movement conversationally is boring,tedious and frankly serving little purpose.
Can anyone bring anything new to the discussion?

Since when has horse riding been regulated??? Anyone can jump on a horse which they own and go riding with no protective gear...
Or do you mean horse racing/eventing or showjumping??

On professional horse racing/eventing and showjumping events it is required in the rules and regulations to wear the protective gear and also there has to be a ambulance and doctor present at each event or else the events will not start.

No, no, no the fatalaties on people riding on their horses around the countryside are much more considerable compared to Showjumping/Horse Racing and Eventing as in these sports they are required by the rules to wear the safety gear and also there is a ambulance and doctor that has to be at every event and so any injuries are treated much faster.

Well, the horses don't have a choice, do they?

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
Staggie, you don't seem to realise the difference between choosing to accept the possibility of death (which anyone taking part in a risky activity takes into account) and the choice less options of a fox being hunted..

Horses love to race and take part in these sporting events.
