In rural France if there are too many foxes in an area and they are becoming a problem to the farms the farners go out and shoot them. They don't seem to need umpteen horses, packs of dogs and a bunch of morons with a thirst for animal cruelty to control the issue over there.
It has nothing to do with pest control and everything to do with being sadistic *****!
And you don't need to be brought up in the country to have a valid opinion about it either, people who live in towns can understand animal cruelty when they see it just fine!
As for tradition we used to burn witches at the stake.... should we bring that back too?

Townies are blinkered in many respects as they buy their meat shrink wrapped from the supermarket and don't really give a thought as to how it got there. Same with eggs - I witnessed a conversation between mother and daughter in the supermarket not so long ago where the young daughter wanted her mother to buy free range eggs as it was nicer to the hens and the mother said don't be silly thye are all the same, they just stick those in a free range box and double the pirice.
People have a lot of waking up to do as there is a lot of animal cruelty in this world, but ignoring hunting just becuase it may not be the worst of it isn't going to help.
Happy New Year to you too

It's only nonsense if you chose it to be the hunt is a valid pest control tool one I have used many times when a problem fox has needed culling and conventional methods have been unsuccessful now its banned though I just use snares since they apparently are far more humane

Anyway, I drove past a hunt yesterday and somehow managed to splash the supporters in their own horse ****.

Really well as a professional gamekeeper I would suggest I have a far greater knowledge of pest control than most but thanks for your insight if you chose to reread my post I, m sure you will notice the part about using the hunt after other methods have been unsuccessful

Using the hunt shoulden't be an option full stop. I thought it was made illegal a few years ago?
As a gamekeeper you probably have some kind of tie to these cretins (you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours type of thing) after all they are making your job easier by removing these vermin so you don't have too.

Yep hunting is banned so this entire debate is pointless and since only a handfull of hunts have been prosecuted despite constantly being monitored by lacs then it is clear the hunts are acting within the law.
I do find it somewhat amusing though that the very people who try to hold the moral high ground are constantly driven to blasphemy and name calling to get their point across

Ehh WTF?? How can they be acting within the law if hunting is banned and they continue to hunt? Surely that's breaking the law?
Name calling? All I said was cretins, hardly name calling TBH.
Blasphemy? you got me on that one?

Pete (mate) - these people are not your betters, they don't think they are your betters - only you do.
Eleanor Roosevelt had something or other to say about this type of thing.
Get yourself some self-help buddy.
YOLO as the young-uns are want to say!

As to my paragraph on name calling and blasphemy I didn't intend to single you out as such but since in your posts you mention hunters to be *******s,****** and cretins then I guess the cap fits

Well put, What type of sick ba$tard would actually see this act of cruelty as being sport anyway? It's probably the least sporting thing ever.
If animals need culling then fine, but I don't see why some stuck up ***** sitting on a horse should get a jolly good laugh and a day out because of it.

TBF they are in general more connected with the countryside there.
I mean how many people on here know some-one who is a farmer or have worked or spent any time on a farm?
They were pretty big on witch burning there as well.

Obviously anything that involves stabling hunting horses and dog packs is about more than controlling the local fox population.
It is not something that interests me one way or the other TBF.
Maybe I should have read "wind in the willows" or something when I was younger

This is ultimately such a minor issue, even that **** Blair admitted his Government should have never started on it.
This is more about the envy culture we have going on here, where people resent those who have more than they do. The poor old fox is a gift to these people.
Too many people with chips on their shoulders round here.
Hare coursing is no different, except the plebs do that rather than the toffs. Let's not bother with that then.
Same again with the badgers.
The fox is only coincidental to what's really going on here.
