What is it with cruel people ?
I would gladly set some dogs on them .

Hi

I cannot be having with killing for fun.

If a Fox is a problem, sit up at night and shoot it, end of story.

I cannot accept the argument that shooting is cruel, night vision and that is that.

Rabbits and Woodpigeon are a pest and are a valuable source of protein.

I have no problem with killing them and eating them.

I have very serious issues with killing Foxes and Badgers for fun, I cannot be having with it.

I love the spectacle, the horses, the dogs.

We have moved on, at least in part, still have the spectacle, but a drag hunt, no need to kill a fox.

Yesterday morning, early hours, I saw three foxes in my headlights, lovely to look at, part of nature, leave them alone.

Yesterday evening, a fox took one of the littlies ducks and killed three others.

It will be shot, it was attracted by an incomer who has no idea of all of Rural Life and was putting out food for the foxes.

I have no issue with shooting them when they are a problem. I cannot understand why anyone would want to kill them for fun.

I have no problem with hunting.

An Easter Egg hunt is far more humane.

No doubt if you were the one being hunted you would have a problem with hunting.

Humans have hunted animals since they climbed out of the primeval swamp.

They are few and far between and cause minimal damage to crops.

Rabbits are different, I shoot them and eat them, simple pest control.

Think but could be wrong but in the two great Coursing centers (Waterloo cup and Suffolk)they were prolific.

After the ban in these two places they were then shoot out of hand.

I didn't think we were allowed to shoot hares, but I was wrong according to this:
