Wildlife doing what wildlife does, those poor rich people losing a few quid get all upset so throw a murderous tantrum and kill the wildlife.

People think of hunting with dogs as the red jacketed fools with the hounds.. the fact is that far more hunting with dogs went on with the working class with ferrets and terriers...Wildlife doing what wildlife does, those poor rich people losing a few quid get all upset so throw a murderous tantrum and kill the wildlife.
On behalf of who and on whose land?People think of hunting with dogs as the red jacketed fools with the hounds.. the fact is that far more hunting with dogs went on with the working class with ferrets and terriers...
It crossed all divides... I'm not for fox hunting on horseback and drag does the job for the vast majority...
I trap themSame situation with moles.
They are lovely affectionate houndsI think ban it , however when my mother ( no longer with us ) left school as a young girl she worked in Service at Shotley Hall , the kennels for the Braes of Derwentside hunt was based there and she had some fascinating stories about the hounds and never condemned Fox Hunting !
I agree No blame at all on the hounds or the horses .I trap them

I think you’re a **** for going on a “hunt”You’re well off the mark with the upper class bit. Most on our hunt work either in agricultural jobs , farmers and the likes and I would say 95% are working class people but you think what you think
I don’t care what you thinkI think you’re a **** for going on a “hunt”
I completely denounce the barbaric belief that to slaughter so-called
lesser species for profit should be viable and morally acceptable. To take the life of any living creature I see as being totally unacceptable. Deeming ourselves as the most intelligent species we appear to have reached the conclusion that all other species are expendable.
This archaic way of thinking has led to both the extinction and near extinction of thousands of species of animals during our short time on earth. What we are faced with is a complete reassessment of our whole moral standards. Not only do we use animals to achieve our own ends.We also seem to believe that it is our natural right to do so.
Or the foxes.I agree No blame at all on the hounds or the horses .
How many foxes are generally killed on a single "traditional" fox hunting trip / day?
Very true mate , especially the foxes !Or the foxes.
Yet some on here seem to think so. Foxes acting like foxes. Who'd have thought ?Very true mate , especially the foxes !
One is too many if it meets its end in the "traditional" way
You aren't protecting YOUR livestock or land. Therefore you are killing for sport/fun. I've no truck with a farmer protecting his own resources out of necessity.Rabbits damage hedges built 100s of years ago allowing stock to escape and 6 rabbits eat the grass of one sheep. A rabbit will burrow in the field causing cattle to break legs and on another note , they are an introduced species.
the damage they do is phenomenal but you wouldn’t know that townie,
Rabbits get ground for dog food or young ones are used for human food.
How do I get rid of a rabbit without using a gun? Trap? That’s suffering 10x what I use.
So how many of my pigs do I allow the fox to get before I take action ?You aren't protecting YOUR livestock or land. Therefore you are killing for sport/fun. I've no truck with a farmer protecting his own resources out of necessity.
There's no getting away from it, though. You're there purely for the enjoyment of the kill.
I'm not a townie. I live in the countryside.
