Guest Kopfkino Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 It's been nearly 10 years now since the ban was introduced and after seeing a few opinions on the matter in the Kramaric thread, I wondered what people on here though about fox hunting especially with Leicestershire being so prominent in the fox hunting world. The Tories have recently promised to legalise fox hunting if they win the next election but I'm not sure it will gain them many more votes and might actually lose them votes. Fox hunting will probably never be the same again anyway, even if it is legalised. Personally I'm undecided on it.
fuchsntf Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 Thats why I started supporting the Tigers, coming from Leicester, got too tired being chased. I like beadles and bloodhounds as well, bloody traitors, hunting their relations...
Kitchandro Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 Hopefully a fox will kill my uncle's geese. Hate those bastards. So yeh, against it. Besides, there's no need to hunt them, they seem to have a fetish for getting run over.
Sir Fynwy Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 I thought the hunts were still going out but they "accidentally" kill the foxes that they come across
Guest MattP Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 Was pure headline grabbing class warfare policy in the first place. Would repeal the ban in an instant. A wonderful part of the traditions and history of the British countryside, there are manyn things worse people get upto out there that haven't been made illegal.

Gotta go they got my scent again, been looking to go in style , looking for a Porche, or Bentley grill to throw myself onto.
Mark_w Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 there are manyn things worse people get upto out there that haven't been made illegal. You could say that to defend almost anything. The fact that there are other issues that need addressing, doesn't make fox hunting, or indeed any kind of hunting, okay.
Guest MattP Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 You could say that to defend almost anything. The fact that there are other issues that need addressing, doesn't make fox hunting, or indeed any kind of hunting, okay. Would you ban all hunting?
AndWhat? Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 Think it's pretty sick to be fair. Don't understand for the life of me how someone can enjoy watching a fox being ripped apart by 30 dogs.
Bryn Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 It's a thoroughly reprehensible thing to do, an absurdly undue level of suffering for the purpose of enjoyment, not to mention the general cuntish behaviour of the hunt, blocking up driveways, trampling hedges, generally making life more difficult for local farmers and countryside dwellers who want nowt to do with it.
Kitchandro Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 Would you ban all hunting? I can understand people hunting things for food but for fun? Sadistic.

I'm not sure it being 'a wonderful part of the traditions and history of the British countryside' is really the reason to legalise it again though
Guest MattP Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 Yes. What other methods of population control would you use during the Hunting seasons?
Mark_w Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 What other methods of population control would you use during the Hunting seasons? I wouldn't.
Samilktray Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 Is there any point to hunting foxes, or is it literally just meant to be a recreational activity
Guest MattP Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 I wouldn't. Well at least you'd end up with a fox as a pet.
David Guiza Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 I understand that there may need to methods of controling the population of certain animals, I have never researched it in any great depth but I'm aware that is an issue. However, fox hunting is absolutley barbaric. Perhaps the worst part of it however, is that it's just an exscuse for some Lord and his pals to hark back to the 19th century and enjoy themselves, they have absolutley no concern about the rising numbers of the fox population. Remember studying a case at Uni about some moron who attempted to claim that the Hunting Ban 2004 was a restriction on his human rights, namely Article 8: the right to respect for private and family life; Article 11: freedom of assembly and association; and Article 14: prohibition of discrimination. Laughable.
Nick Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 What other methods of population control would you use during the Hunting seasons? I wouldn't use the hunts to control fox population as they have always intentionally introduced foxes in to areas to hunt where they can. Now, if you are going to shoot and eat something - no worries. If you are are going to shoot something to make you feel err skilled or to get your rocks off then you're in need of some alternative therapeutic input. If you are want to get dressed up in an odd costume so you can ride a horse wherever you want, have a bit of sherry and chase something round that could readily be hunted in more humane ways and disguise your activity with words like 'tradition' and 'social need' you may as well badger bait, cock fight and dog fight too. If you gave a shit about animals in the first place and so were doing it for farmers you'd care more about how they treat the hunting dogs. It's a tradition that only survived because wealthy people participated rather than poorer demographics.
kingfox Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 Used to go to the Fernie hunt with my Dad and his mate. Was always cold and boring.
RonnieTodger Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 Dead against it. "Tradition" is no excuse for something so abhorrent. It's 2015.

Although getting dressed up very silly as actually part of the fun, you ever been to the National Hunt festival at Cheltenham, it's actually part of the day, I wore a Green Tweed Jacket, Orange trousers, Blue shirt, Brown, Shoes and a Red Hat a couple of years back. I would post a picture but I've learnt my lesson on that.

ScouseFox Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 crikey if posh people think this is entertaining wait til the discover the xbox
Guest MattP Posted 8 January 2015 Posted 8 January 2015 I'm into 'rocking the tweed' but I've not quite taken to 'Resort Wear' just yet. I looked like a cross between John McCririck and Michael Portillo.
