Fox-Hunting

[EternalOptimist]

I hate the ruling class that they are warring against. The French had the right idea about the aristos.

As for controlling the fox population, fine. But is a cavalry charge in fancy dress really the way to do it? And to do it for the enjoyment of seeing a creature ripped apart? Surely those who actually enjoy that are psychopaths. They need to be watched.

maybe all that this proves is that we all need someone to hate

Well it works better than any other practical way of culling foxes. It doesnt cost the taxpayer any money, the price of chickens is kept low and a bunch of toffs get to ride around in silly outfits. If a few people can earn a living out of it and a few countyfolk can get their weekly sadistic fix without having to torture peasants then so what?

Spoken like a true city dweller

Well done the Tories. Fox hunting is more popular than ever due to the removal of the barbaric element of the "sport". This has a knock-on in the prosperity of the rural economy.

Remove the ban and adversely impact the rural economy. Smart move!

Pretty rich move on the part of the human race to call the foxes treatment of the odd chicken and lamb as inappropriate cruelty.

Are Dave's lot going to repeal the Act? I'm given to understand they daren't.

but why not

I hit a pheasant at 150 kph on the autobahn yesterday. It damaged the grille on the car and then the poor creature's head got caught in the Mercedes star on the bonnet, which ripped the head off and, like a slingshot, fired the body of the pheasant several metres into the air, as I saw in the rear view mirror, before it crashed to earth somewhere behind me. I drove on with the head still stuck in the 3 pointed star and a little eye staring at me until I could get to a services and remove it.

When the Tories get in next year I hope in addition to letting us toffs kill vermin again we can stick some chavs up chimneys. Let's get the Great back into Britain.

Instead of re-introducing fox hunting, how about we create a new sport? We could call it "Harman hunting".

I quite fancy the idea of seeing that crazy, man-hating weirdo torn limb from limb from a pack of hounds before she can do any more damage....
