Fox Hunting - again

Here we go again - saw a farmer on the news defending them and when questioned said - well I shoot them, so what's the problem with fox hunting !?
He doesn't get that shooting is the humane way - chasing a fox till its heart is practically out of its chest - then being ripped to shreds is 'not' humane

Now I'd like to get on me horse, giving the toff a head start and chase him till he drops - I wouldn't tear him to shreds but I'd enjoy blowing me trumpet !!

Re: Fox Hunting - again

I agree Patsy and it worries me when land owners and hunters cannot understand that difference.

Re: Fox Hunting - again

You're telling me - my guess is that they 'do' know the difference ......... They think we are stupid and will just accept the drivel they come out with - pathetic .....

Re: Fox Hunting - again

Im with you all the way Patsy,let me get Trigger saddled , and we can go whip a few Toffs .

Tell me why Cock fighting was outlawed , and Hare coursing is against the law ,
Because its a working mans sport !
Chasing a Fox with a load of Hounds is alright cause its done by the upper classes and anything they do cannot be wrong ..

@ Eliza
So right ..........

Re: Fox Hunting - again

Absolutely...pathetic is right!

Re: Fox Hunting - again

Here we go again.. anything that you perceive as 'upper class' is bad. Is this about foxes or about people having money? I suppose polo is bad, ocean racing is bad, horse racing is bad.

Let's go and whip a few protesters.

Re: Fox Hunting - again

I am against fox hunting but even when it was legal I would never try to hurt horse nor rider.

Re: Fox Hunting - again

Yes all these Hunting Parties should be banned for good! Ok to say it's a tradition and our forefather's did the same. But nowaday's it's old hat and should be stamped out completely. They should be Clay Pidgeon Shooting instead... Poor little foxes

Would you want a teenage girl smeared with blood?-oh well it was just preparing her to be sold off to a local farmer to marry estates.
