Fox Hunting

[Rat Faced]

The latest scientific evidence is that they do feel pain, however they have very short memories.

That's why I never send one to the bar for a round.

Exactly... always come back with bloody tonic

I would rather have neither to be perfectly frank. Anyone who indulges in either is a git, that is all there is to it.

Yes I edited the mammal bit having realised I missread what you said

Of course neither are necessary, the point being Fox Hunting should be banned, do you agree or not?

Hunt sabbing is always fun.

Not that I've ever been more than once, too many damn hippies...

[Rat Faced]

I wouldnt know

Fox Hunting should be banned, together with Stag Hunting (Both with Hounds, not humane culling if necessary)..

I'd favour getting rid of Angling too... but as JP said... its just too damned popular that it will happen in the forceable future.

I have yet to see a good argument why they don't go for drag hunting.

It has been proved to work, since it has been one of the major tools used by hunt saboteurs. It has the advantage that the "course" can be made to avoid dangerous situations and can also be routed away from certain properties; there is no way to make a fox do that. And there is a guarantee of a chase; I understand that on some occasions (unfortunately not enough) the hunt doesn't find a fox. Yet another indication of how inefficient it is as a means of control.

So what advantage is there in hunting a real fox? Oh yes, they get to see it ripped apart at the end of the chase. Sick bastards.

Well this is'nt any good, no one's arguing



Edit: Apart from JP who's arguing yet agreeing with me
