There not more effective at being humane, poorly strung snares will result in a slow lingering death or even limbs being gnawed of, being peppered but not blow away by shotgun pellets will result in a slow lingering death, being thwacked by a swooping eagle owl is gonna leave a mark and hurt.

The only way to be 100% humane is to not kill them at all,the best of a bad world is to shoot the buggers not chase them across half the English countryside hurting or killing any passing pets injuring the horses and sometimes the riders in the hope of killing one

We still are chasing them accross half the English countryside killing any passing pets injuring the horses and sometimes the riders and then shooting on so it's 100% killed.

I've never done it.
I'm not pro-fox hunting, I'm anti-fox hunting ban and pro-freedom of certain civil pursuits.
There is a slight difference.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
I'm not a fox hunter but I would imagine for many who do it's simply getting together and riding over the countryside in a non-planned manner with the possible aim of some pest control.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
Packham is about the one man who could persuade me to support anything he doesn't...
Have never hunted nor would I but have been on a paperchase and that WAS great fun...
Do some hunts not hunt something non-living? Thought they did....

Fox hunters don't like drag hunting because they don't get to kill defenseless animals and scream like demented Neanderthals

I would assume animal like to be honest, i dont think they would have a very long conversation with you or have a very large vocabulary. Much like the goons that act as heavy's at fox hunts

What about chavs no one wants to feed them and I like the way he neglects to mention without foxes you might see other wildlife like hedgehogs.
