Live and let live

It means to kill these lovely creatures who control the pests, like rats, squirrels, etc...? vermin.

FTFY.

I have mixed views on this one.

No, I don't like cruelty to animals but I do like to see the men trot by in their hunting pinks.

Think we should stick to the status quo.

Can we bring back bear fighting and slavery while we are at it?

I was hoping Brexit would leave to the UK expanding there horizons beyond the EU and looking forwards...

Oh yes - and caning in schools. Especially for the thick kids. It never did sasguru any harm....

One for each personality? The sockie master and the sockie....

Thanks for pointing out the obvious in the stats that I missed as, like most of my snowflake generation, I was too busy taking photos of my dinner to send to my friends to do more than pass a cursory glance at the facts. By the way, did I ever mention that I know EXACTLY how I would react in a life or death situation because I once disturbed an acne-ridden burglar?

They have babies so they're lovely? Do you think a picture of one going through your bin or tearing your chicken to bloody shreds would be equally cute?

Don't know if any of you have noticed but fox hunting still happens and the foxes still die. It's just they are shot rather than left to the hounds. Although the biggest killer of foxes are cars, with a huge percentage of foxes not reaching two years of age.

Also worth remembering we didn't have a problem with urban foxes until quite recently. Can't imagine why.

I don't have a problem with fox hunting (I used to shoot them myself in my youth, working the farms) but I do have a problem with the Hunt and their assumption of supremacy, but that's a different issue altogether

Yeah, it's meant to be culling for a purpose because they ARE a problem unchecked. But torturing them to death and ripping them to pieces is a different matter.

I've got videos of foxes in our garden. They have never touched our chickens.
But don't let that fact affect your emotional opinion.
