// The fox does not anticipate death, they say, so is not unduly traumatised by the pursuit.//
So why does it run away? It's nothing to do with class- it's cheap to go. And nothing to do with vermin- Foxes are brought over from other counties to make sure there are some around. It's just a cruel pastime for sadists.

Its been shown in the past, that some Hunts intentionally breed fox cubs, keep them in secret and then let them loose, so they can hunt them.

I, for one, have not said if I think it's right or wrong,
@ 16:00 I pointed out Class Envy had reared it's ugly head, &
@ 16:21 I took the Micky, 'cus you're so open for it.

mikey at 17:00 so true, I have read this many times and seen the pictures ...

[mikey4444]

hereiam....and these official Hunts are the very ones that want Hunting to return, not to control vermin, but to slake their thirst for blood.

Why is that all these hunting, shooting, fishing types all want to kill things for fun ? I and the dog get out into the countryside as often as we can but not as often as we would like.

We have wonderful days out, do some walking and sight-seeing, have a Pub lunch or afternoon tea somewhere, and come home satisfied that we haven't killed anything in order to enjoy ourselves.

I haven’t read all the posts, but if this is the best argument that Labour supporters can offer against the prospect of a Conservative government it doesn’t say much for Mr Corbyn’s hair-brained proposals.

Well I'm not a 'fluffy bunny' - what ever that is .

However , because some report states that they are 'satisfied' , does not mean that I have to accept their opinion - which is just what it is - an opinion

[mikey4444]

Well said Baz !

Vote Tory and get hunting with dogs back !

[naomi24]

Pathetic argument. Vote Labour and bankrupt the country.

I have in my youth ridden with several hunts and can assure you Mikey we have not bred any foxes ever!!

[mikey4444]

Islay....then I presume that you have never hunted with the South Herefordshire Hunt or the Middleton Hunt then ?

I am not a Labour supporter naomi24, I just support NO cruelty to animals, full stop.!

Good link about the fox breeding Mikey.

[mikey4444]

Thanks trt...only too happy to oblige !

[Islay]

The point I was trying to make is that you have shown 2 hunts but I have ridden with at least 4 therefore I have shown twice as many have not carried out that practice.
Given that there are hundreds of hunts throughout the UK I would suggest that it is not normal practice.
Apologies for not making it clear.

[naomi24]

trt, I don't support fox-hunting either, but I wouldn't let a free vote on the matter - which is what is proposed - influence my choice of government - especially considering the disastrous alternative. There's no guarantee that fox hunting is about to make a return. Get a grip!

Official Government Enquiries cant just be dismissed as some report or other....lol @ 18:14
