It's very sporting killing these vermin.......

[gasbanni]

Of course you have to be a psychopath and enjoy inflicting pain.......its such fun seeing them terrified and chasing them until they're exhausted so the dogs can catch them and tear them to pieces.
Stupid city folk don't get these country sports.

Bastards

i dont have an "US and THEM" attitude
but i do have a "WHAT PLANET" do these people live on

Foxhunting is animal cruelty dressed up as tradition.

 

[gasbanni]

I feed the urban fox that visits us ....not too much so he's not totally dependant .........left some cheese out one night ...Two young foxes were arguing over it !!

One night I went out looked like two juveniles stood a few paces off staring at me ......beautiful creatures. ......dog family I believe.

 

[Mike10]

Yeah, beautiful creatures, until they rip up the turf you've just laid night after night.
Had to build a tent of plastic mesh over the top of this so they would leave it alone.

As an 'interesting' aside . . . I know horses, everyone else who I know who also knows horses, all think that the rider was incredibly cruel in the way she handled that horse. We also collectively agree that if a horse is being used as a weapon against you, if you can, you grab the bridle like the masked terrorist did !

I'm a country dwelling inbred, I'm also fairly wealthy & a landowner. I accept that foxes must be controlled, but not like this & not by these people.

 

[Brigadier]

There's a reason that urban foxes are....urban; easier food, easier shelter.
Do gooders returning them to nature might think they're doing the foxes a favour, but I wonder if the foxes feel the same way?

bunch of crazies dressed up charging around the country side chasing an animal untill it is exhausted for sport

Give em 10 years in prison.

Hilarious thanks .......probably watched you relay it ........Right boys he's finished ...you ready ?

Not quite true. They have an uncaring, un-compassionate view of human beings not born with a silver spoon in their mouths. I'm not sure that they even see us mere mortals as human to be honest.

Well dork my brother in law used to go out shooting them, bullets not a shotgun .......when they were killed they were running towards him thinking they were getting a meal. Used to put the dead foxes by the hill farmers gates it was to protect the lambs. He thought fox hunting with dogs was babaric, and questioned why the were hunting a nocturnal animal during the day.
Foxes kill rats people forget that.......what would the rat population be without them ?

Not as low as it would be without humans.....

Did you put down some fish blood and bone fertiliser before laying the turf?

 

[Mike10]

Did you put down some fish blood and bone fertiliser before laying the turf?

I didn't on this job , no. I did on another turfing job a few months later that was only 1/4 mile away and had no problems at all with that one.

I bought and read this book years ago, Mike Huskisson went undercover to report what went on, he didn't disrupt anything he reported on what he witnessed as a supposed hunt follower....the link to his book follows on the page theres a free download.

Here you can read about this pastime in all it's GORY, having read this book it's brought me to the views I have now, the sad fact is that some people take pleasure in the pain, suffering and torture and fear of other living things ........its been around a long time you've only got to think of the Amphitheater (venationes).

If it was legal they'd probably like to have human quarry it would be more fun.
Make no mistake it's not done to keep the vermin down, its to satisfy sadastic tendancies, my brother in law used to kill five or six a night, fast and painless. The foxes were running towards him when they were killed. What fun is there in that for these vermin ( the hunters ).
