Driving back from the outlaws I witnessed a truly British Scene.
A group of Fox Hunters on a brisk Boxing Day, enjoying themselves and clearing the country of vermin. Makes you proud to have been born in this green and pleasant land.
Thankfully this will never be banned.

Let them have the fox hunting, theres far worse going on in this country, not even mentioning the world.

As mentioned above, several thousand pensioners will die this winter due to heating issues. Maybe they should all be supplied with fox furs

If rabies ever got to us,, all vermin as per the last time would have to be slaughtered,

as mr foxy woxy is also a member of this club he would be subjected to a no holds barred culling....

its your choice......... cute mr foxy woxy or rabies....

foxes dont kill humanly and they also kill indisriminatly...

It amazes me how we hold the lives of animals in esteem and human life is treated like crap...

save the badgers,,,save the wales,,,save the foxes,,

save the pensioners???? ( oh yeah !!! get rid of british gas!!!)


LOL

I find it really ironic that people are more worried about animals rather than children being blown up by our bombs directly or indirectly. To me animals are meant for food and thats just about it. Grow up PETA people..

I have to admit that I fail to see the "rabies" link.

Ther is rabies, and there are foxes on the continent of Europe, but they don't panic about it like we do.
Nor are all their dogs rabid, just innoculated.

jf - the number of foxes killed by hunting is insignificant - a few hundred in the uk per year, IIRC. The argument that it is a good way of controliing the fox population is well known to be false. i don't agree with hunting personally, but i also don't agree with it being banned. i think people should have the liberty to hunt if they want to. particularly when i get woken up by the foxes larking about in my back garden

Apparently less than what are killed on the M1 so they say.
