Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting

Fox hunting originated for a reason: there was/is no natural predator and so they could ravage farms as they pleased.

Clearly it morphed into an amusement session for the hunters and, I suspect, that is the main objection that the detractors have.

Personally, I can't see anything wrong with fox hunting, but if that is banned (which it is) there needs to be some other permitted population control measure.

I don't think chasing them with dogs is especially humane or that effective either. I don't buy the class aspect, no way would this be legal if it was inner-city kids chasing foxes with dogs and bikes.

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

in Britain, cubs are killed by golden eagles and badgers, and elsewhere by several other predators.

As we know there are plenty of Golden Eagles to keep the fox population down.

Funnily enough if you watch the hunts going out you'll sometimes see a big old bird being carried out with them to finish of the fox rather than a dog but you knew that didn't you
