Foxhunting
Collapse

-
I believe that foxes are classified as Vermin because they are a threat to humans in one way or another like rats . in the case of foxes they kill farm animals which has a detrimental effect on people's livelihoods. Organising a hunt to kill them is I believe the most cost effective and efficient way of culling them. I do not like the idea of people getting enjoyment from killing animals but for many in rural areas it gives employment and a sense of community. as I endorse the killing of animals for food and my livelihood is not affected by the antics of foxes I feel I am in no position to stop others from hunting (which would include fishing).Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone -
What I meant was they should leave the ban in place as it is now. Relaxing the law will just piss people off. People who just voted Tory for the first time, some of them.Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostThat is it. Banning Foxhunting has no material benefit to anyone. So it is not as if one liberty is being taken away in order to deliver another liberty.Comment

Yes it does as I wasn't arguing the points in the article at all, just pointing out a simple mistake in your post...Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostOK O'Neill is editor but that doesn't let you off the hook in answering the points does it?“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

What about cock fights? Badger baiting? Bear fights? Dog fights? Squirrel worrying? Agent trolling?Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostThat is it.

I do wonder if this "posh" thing is a myth. People who hunt round here are mostly as common as muck, it's more us posh(ish) sorts who oppose it.Methinks your problem is with the posh people using it as a sportbloggoth

There you go: Wolves, lynx and wild boar could be reintroduced to British forests - Environment - The IndependentOriginally posted by minestrone View PostBring back wolves, that would sort the problem out.
We're starting to see wolves here, in fact some have been seen not far from me although a couple have recently been run over by cars and there have been sightings of bears in Bavaria. Didn't the Daily Mail run a scare campaign a short while back about European Wolves invading the UK (wandered through the tunnel, climbed into the back of a lorry?)“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
