navarre Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 How do you feel about fox hunting? Do you think the law should be harsher, or do you think the government have been inconsiderate? Personally, I think fox hunting is a terrible 'sport' (if you can call it that), that murders countless foxes every year for little to no reason. Discuss.

The fish Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Can't you see the fun in slaughtering harmless, defenceless, crimeless, small mammals for no reason other than "enjoyment". Oh, wait, did I say "fun"? I meant "pointless cruelty..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think the people who do it should be shot...not really because of the fox hunting but because most the people who go fox hunting are a bunch of country bumpkin rah rah tossers. I am aware that is a ludicrous SWEEPING generalisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I quite like foxes, however i'm not really too bothered about fox hunting. Shoot me if you will for having this opinion, but i'm not that arsed about it. It's only pest control made fun. Awaits hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi Dassler Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Why? Why should it be treated any different to to the deliberate murder of a human?

But who are we to judge which lives should be ended, regardless of creature? If I killed a fox, I'd feel just as bad as if I'd killed a human.

Roostophe Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I saw a news report about some anti-fox hunting people, who witnessed a fox get killed by some hunters whilst driving, and were seen in the news report sobbing their eyes out over the dead fox. It made me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 How anyone could be entertained by hunting innocent creatures like foxes is totally beyond by understanding. I'd guess it's more about the social side. A big meet up of the posh land owners riding around the countryside on horseback, in they're posh red suits. Hunting the foxes would be just abit of entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I'd love to hear evryone's view, being the sole purpose of this thread's creation. It's not u, it's everyone else. Most people come into these threads to state their opinion not have a discussion. Short answer: Good: Creates employment for people, bridges the class gap, keeps English heirtage alive, keeps national heritage sites funded, is actually sport (like exercise and team work kind of thing). Bad: Most hunts are just blood trailes now. Hardly ever a fox involved so the arguement for animal rights i kind of invalid (it was a huge debateably grey area to start with!) Dangerous sport (my only genuine concern) and encourages the breeding and upbringing of more ferral dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi Dassler Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 How anyone could be entertained by hunting innocent creatures like foxes is totally beyond by understanding. Exactly. You don't understand it, so you shouldn't comment on it. I don't understand it either, so I just leave them alone and let them get on with it. You should do the same, they're not doing you any harm.

I don't understand it either, so I just leave them alone and let them get on with it. I said I didn't understand how people could do it, not why. Please, if you canot contribute to the thread in an appropriate manner, then leave. Have you never killed a bug? Obviously. Not of my own accord, mind.

A big meet up of the posh land owners riding around the countryside on horseback, in they're posh red suits. Hunting the foxes would be just abit of entertainment. I liked your opinion before. Now I just think that you're a narrow minded bigotted tit. Have u been on a hunt? Do you know people who do hunt? Do you have anything near vaguely first hand experience of the sport? People who have a go at people for being "posh" are just self-pitying wankers. It's a knee-flinch response which is totally uncalled for. I REALLY hate people who actually discriminate against others for having any money at all. A lot of the people who go on the hunts aren't that well off.

Daft Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 No, ironically. What exactly do you have a problem with? Its a form of pest control. If you are arguing about animal cruelty I'd argue battery chicken farming is incredibly more inhumane than fox hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are arguing about animal cruelty I'd argue battery chicken farming is incredibly more inhumane than fox hunting. I only ever get free-range meat and dairy products, as I agree battery farming is just wrong. Foxes may be pests, but they can be dealt with in more efficient ways than fox hunting. They don't need to be hurt at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddage Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Jamba wins this thread, I agree with everything he says. The people who just say they do it because they like killing animals really need to do some research about it before saying anything. Edit: What would these more effective ways be navarre?
