i understand your point ,but that isn't what the farmers want they just want the fox dead ,not worried about the fox gene pool ,don't want healthy fit and intelligent foxes just dead ones

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
I just think its sick and if you want to watch some animal ripped a part then your sick in the head imho, I don't see the need for it, why are the chickens left somewhere the fox can get them.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
They're not - they are usually kept in a coop at night, and the fox digs under the wire to get to them.

thats what i keep asking how come a fox finds it so easy to get into a chicken pen ,no answer yet ,and as that seems to be the only justification for fox hunting i don't expect one

If you went on a hunt the chances of you seeing said animal 'ripped a part' are nil all but.

Not always, some times they just want the fox moved on and some times they are paid by the hunt for use of the land, nothing is ever straight forward.

seems a bit pointless then ,if the hunters rarely catch a fox why do they want to bring it back

Most hunts dont catch a fox your right but even when they do chances are you won't see the kill, it's only 2 members of the hunt actually see the kill as the rest have to stay well behind the hounds, you'd have to ask them but they seem quite keen on it being brought back.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
i must say that since the ban its almost impossible to find a chicken in the shops, and can any one remember eggs ,the fox population must be dealing a devastating blow to poultry farms

Since the ban came in there has been a massive increase in the number of foxes killed, for instance on the first day of hunting after the ban came in more foxes were killed than during the entire previous years hunts, the rifle doesn't discriminate between the young and healthy and the old and lame.

Whether the farmers care if the fox is healthy, fit and intelligent is irrelevant. The fact is that those that are healthy, fit and intelligent are more likely to be able to avoid being captured.

I assume you didn't mean mauled, as the fox is killed by one hound, with one bite, on the back of the head or neck.
