Should the next Conservative Gvt scap the ban on Fox hunting.

Don't worry...Woody is safe...there is no way that I would ever harm him!

Easy is right, if I did that sectioning would be the very least of my worries!

What drives me MAD I when people come out with the RIDICULOUS comment of "cars kill more foxes" etc.

That's NOT the issue.

It's the fact that a bunch of NOBS are making a complete SCENE of dressing up and ripping an innocent animal to PIECES in the name
of a SPORT. It's sick.

A fox gets killed by a car, it's sad but you can't do anything about it.

A twat dresses up with his chums and actively kills the thing for pleasure, it's wrong.

I'm sure more bulls die of disease than bull fighting, so that's ok also.

Foxhunting is to politics what Jedward are to reality TV: totally divisive and polarising without actually having any real impact on daily life.

It angers me that so much time is wasted on this subject, in particular police time. Anecdotal evidence suggests the ban is being ignored, but I doubt whether Cameron will have the balls to lift it completely. We really have more important things to think about as a nation than hunting, the Olympics and overspending Premiership football clubs.

This was why it was banned in the first place, not because it's cruel, which it probably is, but to appease class warriors like yourself.

ok mate, what part of ripping a fox into pieces with a pack of dogs after chasing it for miles across fields is not cruel?
Simple question.

I love it when the fox hunters say that the law is ineffective and should therefore be repealed. It's ineffective because they are so stuffed with their own self-importance and righteousness that they blatantly ignore it.

By the same logic, some scumbags ignore the laws against rape, murder and kiddie-fiddling - so presumably we should legalise these disgusting, sick, anti-social activities as well ?

I wonder about the Tory bias of the police in not enforcing the ban - go on a 'Leftie' demonstration against globalisation, climate change, building a new power station, etc, and there's at least one copper for each protester, often allegedly very heavy-handed. Or look at how the police sometimes treat some football fans like cattle.

I also witnessed first hand the policing of the miners' strike in Yorkshire in the 1980s - would love to see the Old Bill deal with the some of these fox hunters in the same way !

Yet the police seem to turn a blind eye to predominatly Tory fox hunters flouting the law (although they will 'deal with' anti-fox hunt protesters). So much for the police being politically impartial and neutral, and applying the law equally to everyone.

That's why the argument that it is wasting police time is wrong; the police themselves seem to have decided they don't want to enforce it.

As always, there's one law for the rich and the Tories, and another law for the rest of us.

The fox hunters are as arrogant as they are barbaric.

 

[Notters]

Yes, because it still go's on every weekend even tho there is a ban! Must cost a fourtune to police these events all over the country, and at the end of the day they cant exactly police them properly!

Surely it either still goes on or costs a fortune to police, not both?!

 

[auschr]

dog hunting should be legal, i hate dogs

 

[portslade seagull]

NO....lets hunt the hunters instead

 

[drew]

Do you mean just foxes or the ban on hunting mammals with dogs?

I'm in favour of properly controlled stag shooting but hunting them with dogs just encourages ghastly little lower middle class types to get involved.

I didn't know Nick Winterton posted on here!

More Road Traffic killed Foxes more than hunters EVER did.FACT.

Hello Mr Dumb.

as long as the numbers are controlled I dont see a problem with Fox Hunting, I was fully against it until I spoke to some "Country Folk" and they made me realise what the "City Dwellers" had been getting all hot and bothered about....something they know NOTHING about to be precise!

and seriously...comparing fox hunting to paedos........RIIIIIIIIIGGGGHHHHT!

Sorry but what arguments are supposed to support fox hunting. I have never heard one argument that isn't fatuous and self serving for a barbaric sport.

depends on what you believe, either we are just another animal and so killing off a few pests weather to eat or because we can is just nature. or we are created beings appointed to look after everything.

Weather, whether or wether. Guess, only one of these is the correct answer.

so if it were tribesmen in the jungle and they ate the quarry, you'd be fine? if they trained the young men by rituallised hunting on a vermin they discarded, where would stand?

im neither pro or anti, but seems alot of antis are agains their perception of the people involved rather than the hunt itself.

I hate the act. It's vile

the people who carry out this act therefore, are twats.

It not a class based hatred in any way. It's the killing of an animal in an inhumane way, for NO reason but for show which is horrid.

 

[Barrow Boy]

Poor Springer. We have a little brown Springer called Boko. She's a Great Cat Catcher, likes buggery, but full of fun and love

Sorry, but it just had to be done.

fair enough. maybe there should be a UN mandate to ban all ritualistic killing throughout the world for what ever purpose or tradition.

there is no religious meaning or connotations attached to fox hunting in anyway though, compared to the kind of sacrificing which I believe you are refering to.

And again I'm not saying lets not kill ANY animals.

But how can anyone think having a bunch of idiots chasing down a terrified animal with hundreds of dogs and then ripping it to shreds is a sport? Even shooting it for sport would still be sick but at least the poor thing would not have a chance to suffer.

 

[Starry]

far more important things for them to do than change the 'law' on this ban. and i use the word law loosely since the actual law is a complete sham and was a complete waste of parliamentary time. we ride out and yes, we've had this thread before, but not one thing has changed and that isn't people being arrogant and breaking the law it's people keeping on the right side of a sham ban.

but bigger fish to fry than the hunting with dogs act.

 

[wahoo]

duck and drake pochard i believe?

 

[Martinf]

Have I had too much to drink again or does that man have ducks for legs?

 

[wahoo]

can someone answer a simple question for me ,
a lot of people on here are totaly against fox hunting because its cruel (so they say) not because of all the nobs all dressed up , and all the rich fuckers that hunt(so they say)
so are you really telling me that putting a live maggot or worm on a hook (not cruel) then dropping this baited hook in front of a fish , then letting the fish fight against a rod , line ,angler and the big hook in its throat is (not cruel ) is ok, the fish is then dragged onto the shore or river bank where it is dispatched , now before you say we eat the fish , what about the 100s of makeral that are caught off the piers in the summer , thrown in a bin liner to go rotten before being dumped .
no i am sorry like it or not if the working class went fox hunting none of the antis on here would be antis , its all about the upper crust , sad bunch some of you lot .
by the way i have never hunted foxes , but love fishing !!!
