I particularly like the quote from the chairman who "tweaked his groin" trying to get away from the marauding animal

Not sure the hooray Henry's would be in that particular neighbourhood with their hounds

Keeping fox numbers down humanely is fine just can't stand the hunt lot charging about torturing the poor buggers for hours first arrogant tossers!

No time for hunting, it`s a sign of a violent mind and cowardice, hunting for necessity is fine, but not this.

Quite right. Understand the need (hey, I had chickens), but chasing the beggars until they are shaking in fear is another matter. I really have no idea why that pursuit should bring great joy to people.

If you want to kill pests, do it humanely and quickly not spend 20 mins letting a pack of dogs skin it alive and rip it apart while it screams in agony.

It's actually "Hunting with dogs" not a fox hunting ban. Most of the people collared have been poacher types using lurchers not the horse riding mindless Muppet's in red.

I was brought up very near to a hunt and found dead hounds that had been lamed then shot on a regular basis. These people are not animal lovers or respect nature they are at worst sadistic bloodthirsty maniacs and best mindless socialite tossers.

Hunting to control and protect or even put meat on the table is fine by me if it's humane and has a reason.

Killing something for sport however is sadistic,warped and less than a human being should be.

I used to very opposed to fox hunting but now I've grown up and seen the wider issues.

Foxes are a pest and need a natural predator to keep their numbers down. There isn't one so one has to be found.

Shooting/poisons aren't humane and kill healthy animals whereas hunting.....

If the animal is healthy and fit, it escapes. If it isn't, it dies. Numbers are reduced and nature takes it's course.

Back to natural selection, the strong survive and the weak die. And numbers are kept under control.

Foxes are a pest in the country and are now so in urban areas. There is nothing to stop them spreading so a solution has to be found.

There is NO excuse to hunt for sport. If any animal needs killing for 'pest' control then do so humanely.

Of course, you could try running a mile or three in the foxes shoes whilst a pack of hounds chases you intent on ripping you apart. Then come back and talk about survival of the fittest.

Studying an animals behaviour is helpful, there is a bloke on our allotments who hasn`t lost a single chicken, because he took the necessary precautions, if you kill a fox, another is waiting to move into it`s territory, so it never ends, and they don`t just kill all the chickens, they come back for the rest to bury them for when times are hard, but they usually get disturbed and so flee the scene, leaving people to think they killed them for nothing. Protect livestock better, there are ways of doing it without having to kill, but sadly people like to kill animals and will look for excuses.

And as has already been seen, they seem to think that because they live in the country they know better than us 'townies'. Same old tired excuses.

Typical towny response. Do you know that the fox is killed very quickly by the pack. Shooting a fox is not guaranteed to kill it and it may run off injured to die slowly.

Calling the people who go on hunts, Hooray Henrys also shows your ignorance. I have friends who ride on hunts and they're just normal people. The horses get a good exercise, the dogs too.

Oh and I hope you don't drive because more foxes get killed by cars then any hunt could ever do.

i always view people like this if they are animal lovers most of the time they are good people but the violent poor excuses for humans that like to kill torment animals for their own sadistic pleasure tend to be people you don't want to know in my experience

Spot on

It's not just the fox which suffers needlessly, but the dogs too.

We have a dachshund and the thought of him being used just to kill another animal makes my skin crawl - like you say there are hounds which are injured in the process

Hunting rabbits to eat them I have no issue with.

Hunting rabbits, foxes, squire etc as a means of pest control I have no issue with.

Hunting for sport and enjoyment I have an issue with

The total number of animals killed in British slaughterhouses in 2013 was over a billion.

This included 9.8 million pigs, nearly 15 million sheep, 18 million turkeys, 14 million ducks, over 945 million chickens and 2.6 million cattle. Add to that 4.5 billion fish and 2.6 billion shellfish you have a total of over 8 billion animals killed in the UK each year.

This equates to around 22 million animals slaughtered every day; 919,000 an hour; 15,000 per minute and 255 every second.

Gosh, this brings back memories of student days as a hunt saboteur. We used to spend most of our weekends doing what we could to make sure foxes were not caught. Guess we will be at it again, although not sure how fit I am. Some very frightening moments when we were surrounded by huntsman and terrier men, the police nowhere in sight and dunked under water to scare us away, a generally very violent and marauding population who could not give a damn about us peasants ... would be a nightmare for it to come back, but I will be out there again. Absolutely criminal that such a disgustingly inhumane thing could happen again ... but hardly surprising in our society.

the solution is not treating it as a sport, the pomposity and spectacle of the event is no less as disgusting as safari hunting in my opinion.

Foxes are a pest and need a natural predator to keep their numbers down. There isn't one so one has to be found.

Shooting/poisons aren't humane and kill healthy animals whereas hunting.....

If the animal is healthy and fit, it escapes. If it isn't, it dies. Numbers are reduced and nature takes it's course.

Back to natural selection, the strong survive and the weak die. And numbers are kept under control.

Foxes are a pest in the country and are now so in urban areas. There is nothing to stop them spreading so a solution has to be found.

How is the weather over there in lala land?

There is NO excuse to hunt for sport. If any animal needs killing for 'pest' control then do so humanely.

Of course, you could try running a mile or three in the foxes shoes whilst a pack of hounds chases you intent on ripping you apart. Then come back and talk about survival of the fittest.

Typical towny response. Do you know that the fox is killed very quickly by the pack. Shooting a fox is not guaranteed to kill it and it may run off injured to die slowly.

Calling the people who go on hunts, Hooray Henrys also shows your ignorance. I have friends who ride on hunts and they're just normal people. The horses get a good exercise, the dogs too.

Oh and I hope you don't drive because more foxes get killed by cars then any hunt could ever do. "

That last point, about the cars - just ultimately proves how ineffective hunting foxes is, that more foxes die by accident. Also puts into perspective the 'huge pest' that they are, considering how few you see these days dead or alive. Why do people hate animals, either all or a specific species?

Also, normal people don't own a pack of dogs and horses. That's a right minority there, most dog owners actually care about their dogs as companions and pets. Fox hunters are exceptionally abnormal, gloating over extreme cruelty.

Also the notion that the dogs are trained to kill the fix humanely is a fallacy. More often than not the fox is disemboweled. Even if the death were quick the chase through miles and miles of countryside is hardly humane.

You're showing your ignorance. The dogs are kept as a business and have blood lines going back hundreds of years in some cases.

Normal people don't own horses? Are you kidding me? People from all walks of life own horses.

It's also very presumptuous to think that because they hunt they don't care for animals.

The fox has a chance and often escapes or goes to ground.

And you clearly don't get out into the country much. Road kill is all over the place.

trying to think....

how about thinking differently on a perceived proud british pastime, that isnt that far away from bull fighting..where an animal can be killed or culled without it being made some sort of spectacle...

its amazing that people slag off other countries less compassionate animal welfare(wild or captive)..terming them as barbaric...yet people still defend fox hunting in the style that its done as a great british tradition.

its a simple job, go kill the fox..effectively.

I am Country through and through. We have four horses at the last count (she has a tendency to buy them without telling) I think we are pretty normal.

Can't stand suffering of any animal hate fox hunting. It's simply more efficient to shoot them with a rifle when they are out overnight that cannot be up for debate. People make a good living out of humane animal control.

Hunting is simply pageantry that can be recreated without killing.

Just don't ask me to pull the trigger. We had a terrible problem with magpies round here stripping young birds nests of eggs and hatchlings. I went out to shoot them after securing permission and couldn't do it.

My guns are for burglars now.

While I am no fan of many of those that hunt and I think they are their own worse enemy by their attitude I have no problem with hunting in principle. As a farmer I see the damage that foxes can do, not only to chickens but also lambs and even new born calves. Hunts very rarely catch a fit and healthy fox, I have seen with my own eyes a fox run into my yard in front of a pack of hounds, was very calm ambling along and just climbed up a stack of straw and as the hounds kept their noses on the ground I watched as he looked down on them totally unconcerned. If a fox goes to ground then he should be left not dug out. The ones they catch are mainly old,infirm or injured, they do die very quickly and compared to dying of starvation or freezing to death then I know which I would choose. Many of those who are anti though well intentioned are not well informed of the reality of life and death in nature

"Gosh, this brings back memories of student days as a hunt saboteur. We used to spend most of our weekends doing what we could to make sure foxes were not caught. Guess we will be at it again, although not sure how fit I am. Some very frightening moments when we were surrounded by huntsman and terrier men, the police nowhere in sight and dunked under water to scare us away, a generally very violent and marauding population who could not give a damn about us peasants ... would be a nightmare for it to come back, but I will be out there again. Absolutely criminal that such a disgustingly inhumane thing could happen again ... but hardly surprising in our society. "

Surely not.The jolly huntsmen and women,who are from all walks of society remember-not just posh twats,would never be so inhumane as to try and scare you off with violence.I mean it's not in them,surely...

I think much of the bravado surrounding fox hunting is that of outwitting the cunning fox...those who want to prove their mastery over the animal kingdom need show show off how good they are at it and to the animal in question.

cunning fox,wild creature,pest..whatever its called..it has no bravado,malice or sportsfoxship..its not trying to deliberately outfox us..it just does what it does.

As humans, we have the choice, to not cause distress(we can at least try),ease suffering etc etc...

I agree totally

No need for this barbaric practise the law hasn't stopped but it has reduced it dramatically

As for those saying ban all sports involving animals because animals get hurt, ban schools as kids get hurt there too! What rubbish! Properly regulated sports with animals have some of the most pampered loved and cared for animals on the planet, yes whenever money gets involved people need to be monitored and regulated but if you ban horse riding what do you think will happen to all the horses in the country? Kept as pets not to be ridden? Nope they will be shot same with the dogs, you know hard it is to regime grey hounds? Extremely! Ban animals in sport and leisure? Ban pets too then that's not natural either! How can you compare horse riding or racing with hunting?

Probably a bit better to give them someone who can talk back..than something thats cowering in fear of its life.

I'd say calling people cunts or saying they deserve a slap, still makes me a cut above someone who can cause distress and suffering to an animal...I suppose its always better to have something that cant really fight back or argue,if thats what being humans all about eh?

And pointing out that people are advocating it and that they may have a low IQ is certainly not as personal as calling people scum or that they should be wiped from this society. I believe that term is ethnic cleansing. How much more personal can you get?

The pro-hunt group have put their argument across quite clearly without getting threatening.

"

Didnt realise I had put the reply inside your post and then couldnt edit it out As I said I am not a hunter and some that are dont do their cause any favours but I unlike many of the antis do know from first hand experience what I am talking about, I totally respect those that don't want to see any living creature die but nature is cruel. The amount of animal cruelty caused to pets by "animal lovers" far outweighs any caused by hunting and shooting or fishing

Anyone that's having problems with a fox doesn't need a pack of hounds to sort the problem out.

Anyone that grew up in the countryside knows the score. There's hunting and then there's blood sports, two very different things. To me the blood sports brigade spin much crap to justify their bloodlust be it fox hunting or some of their other horrific pastimes in darkness.

That last point, about the cars - just ultimately proves how ineffective hunting foxes is, that more foxes die by accident. Also puts into perspective the 'huge pest' that they are, considering how few you see these days dead or alive. Why do people hate animals, either all or a specific species?

Also, normal people don't own a pack of dogs and horses. That's a right minority there, most dog owners actually care about their dogs as companions and pets. Fox hunters are exceptionally abnormal, gloating over extreme cruelty.

You're showing your ignorance. The dogs are kept as a business and have blood lines going back hundreds of years in some cases.

Normal people don't own horses? Are you kidding me? People from all walks of life own horses.

It's also very presumptuous to think that because they hunt they don't care for animals.

The fox has a chance and often escapes or goes to ground.

And you clearly don't get out into the country much. Road kill is all over the place.

"

fox hunting is a blood sport it's no different to dog fighting its just rich people fox hunt so seen as acceptable in my eyes it's no they are no better than people who fight dogs

anybody that partakes in any blood sport is no animal lover and no matter how you try and justify blood sports I will never believe that anybody to takes part in such an act is an animal lover

if you believe they are then you clearly have a different ideal on what an animal lover is than I do

The land of grey peas and bacon

I grew up in a very pro hunting family our land was often used by the hunt and we used to follow the Boxing Day hunt, however as an adult do I believe in what it stands for? I can't say I really do any more it was rich in heritage where I grew up but I was a kid so can't say I had a choice and as a teenager I went to hunt balls but I guess your opioions on subject can change when you thing about the true meaning of it.

Firstly im not a hunting type but i am a lad of the countryside ,,,, what i can tell you though is just because you put a gun to a fox does not mean a quick and painless death ,,,,,if you dont believe me then watch the first 5 mins of saving private ryan ,,,, you then may think other wise . So a fox gets chased around the countryside ,,,,, it either escapes whereupon the next day it may be a bit stiff and ache a bit or else its caught and very quickly dispatched ,,,, not nice maybe but it is quick ,,, very quick

The bit about horray henries tarting around the countryside well yes that pisses me off a bit to but im afraid im of the opinion of foxxy numbers need controling but until there is a better way im prepaed to put up with them

I was brought up very near to a hunt and found dead hounds that had been lamed then shot on a regular basis. These people are not animal lovers or respect nature they are at worst sadistic bloodthirsty maniacs and best mindless socialite tossers.

Hunting to control and protect or even put meat on the table is fine by me if it's humane and has a reason.

Killing something for sport however is sadistic,warped and less than a human being should be. "

But I thought the fox hunting ban was a weird one to go through in the first place.

It leaves the door open for a whole bunch of other things to get banned too or at the very least debated and I found it weird the we took that risk to start with.

Because generally dog fighting is associated with the lower class and fox hunting the upper class

a group of unemployed lower class people betting on what dog will win is seen as unacceptable

a group of upper class people going our for a social gathering over three country side chasing foxes is fine

Keeping fox numbers down humanely is fine just can't stand the hunt lot charging about torturing the poor buggers for hours first arrogant tossers!

I used to very opposed to fox hunting but now I've grown up and seen the wider issues.

Foxes are a pest and need a natural predator to keep their numbers down. There isn't one so one has to be found.

Shooting/poisons aren't humane and kill healthy animals whereas hunting.....

If the animal is healthy and fit, it escapes. If it isn't, it dies. Numbers are reduced and nature takes it's course.

Back to natural selection, the strong survive and the weak die. And numbers are kept under control.

Foxes are a pest in the country and are now so in urban areas. There is nothing to stop them spreading so a solution has to be found.

How is the weather over there in lala land?

There is NO excuse to hunt for sport. If any animal needs killing for 'pest' control then do so humanely.

Of course, you could try running a mile or three in the foxes shoes whilst a pack of hounds chases you intent on ripping you apart. Then come back and talk about survival of the fittest.

Typical towny response. Do you know that the fox is killed very quickly by the pack. Shooting a fox is not guaranteed to kill it and it may run off injured to die slowly.

Calling the people who go on hunts, Hooray Henrys also shows your ignorance. I have friends who ride on hunts and they're just normal people. The horses get a good exercise, the dogs too.

Oh and I hope you don't drive because more foxes get killed by cars then any hunt could ever do. "

The hunt are generally a bunch of very decent people that are well involved in the local community and the hunts aww heavily involved in charity work.

Foxes that are caught by dogs are killed almost instantly.

It provides a valuable and sustainable income to the rural communities.

It brings communities together.

It provides horses and riders with exceptional routes and land to ride we would otherwise be unable to access.

Hunt masters provide a use for the blood hound, a breed of dog that may become extinct without the hunt.

It's one of the few living British traditions still going in a society, fast being accused of not being British or traditional anymore.

And us 'Hooray Henry's' are all normally some of the most educated 'morons' in the country.

Rural life and rural living is almost impossible to understand if you've never experienced it. Community is a huge part of life, over superficial and modern townie preferences. And the hunt is a community. Anyone that does not have the ability to open their narrow mind as to why it still goes on : I challenge you, spend 5 years in a rural community then re answer the same question. Or don't, because ignorance is bliss!!!

Fox hunting with hounds goes against everything I hold dear about hunting. It's cruel and barbaric. The Fox is exhausted and scared when the end comes and its far from a quick and painless death as some claim - Fox hounds attack from the stomach and the animal is pretty much disembowelled whilst still alive. I grew up around the Quorn Hunt and was in a friend's garden when a pack of hounds cornered a fox and killed it in front of us. The cunts on the horses weren't the least bit apologetic either.

Hunt them with a rifle by all means, it's certainly more humane and sporting. Just remember it's humans that have invaded the foxes habitat.

How do you propose to cull the foxes?

With poison? What about all the other animals & birds this affects

By shooting? In the same way as badgers have been successfully shot. A fox is far more alert than any badger and is far more likely to be injured by a marksman than killed.

Let’s find practical solutions rather than throw insults around.

Trapping? Again this affects more animals and birds than just foxes. Most foxes would avoid a trap as they have a keen sense of smell.

Whilst we are on the subject of cruelty, isn’t it time commercial fishing was outlawed. After all thousands of fish suffocate to death when caught isn’t that barbaric?

And you're comparing fishing for food to a blood sport.

I've known farmers who have shot foxes. Ones that are sick, ill, old. The same ones that the hunt claim they deal with.

Anyone that does not have the ability to open their narrow mind as to why it still goes on : I challenge you, spend 5 years in a rural community then re answer the same question. Or don't, because ignorance is bliss!!!

I really liked the part about the blood hound becoming extinct...I chortled more at that than anything else you spouted...

Can we not learn to live without killing, we are shocked when a human child is killed, but it is the same instinct in a different direction, it`s the urge to kill that has to end, killing is killing, no matter how you choose to condemn or justify.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum


"Fox hunting with hounds goes against everything I hold dear about hunting. It's cruel and barbaric. The Fox is exhausted and scared when the end comes and its far from a quick and painless death as some claim - Fox hounds attack from the stomach and the animal is pretty much disembowelled whilst still alive. I grew up around the Quorn Hunt and was in a friend's garden when a pack of hounds cornered a fox and killed it in front of us. The cunts on the horses weren't the least bit apologetic either.

Hunt them with a rifle by all means, it's certainly more humane and sporting. Just remember it's humans that have invaded the foxes habitat."

We had a hunt go through our garden once. The neighbours had hidden the fox in their garage.

Want to hunt a wild animal? Use skill to do so. What's skilful about a bunch of horses and dogs chasing a small, not exactly dangerous animal?

Have you kept track of the comments on here, the thread has evolved into a serious debate to which I was responding, why do people keep doing this to me? it`s bizarre.

Oh yes I have watched the thread from when I first posted it!

Serious debate - questionable

My earlier response - why can't we learn to have a laugh? - quite appropriate given the fact the original post was not designed to develop a "serious debate", but simply raise a smile or have a giggle.
