Really, you don't buy Tony Banks standing up in parliament in the night of the vote shouting "that showed the toffs". Hunting is relatively effective at moving fox populations on as up until the ban when they had to shoot them they only really caught the really old or really ill foxes and hunting should be more humane than gnawing your own paw of coz it's stuck in a snare
