Fox hunting with hounds will be banned and not before time.
I’m sure that most of these violent protesters have about as much interest in the issues involved as thugs who cause trouble at football matches. Even so, they have done no favours to their cause, and neither have these people. Hunting with hounds will be banned, and not before time.
And before you go calling the jobs argument on me – I don’t care. If something is immoral and (quite frankly) wrong then you can’t keep it going for the sake of a few jobs, which, in all honesty aren’t even in threat. No one is saying that you can’t dress up in all your finery, and ride your horses, have your hounds. You can still meet with your hounds and partake in a spot of drag-hunting. No jobs need be lost. However if they are, then it’s simply a way of life that must come to an end.
i agree 😀
Foxhunting is an absolute outrage. Indefensible (whatever the protesters might claim). Oscar Wilde got it spot on – “The unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable”, or something like that 🙂
It’s barbaric to make people dress up in finery!
Oh yeah, and there’s the fox thing.
I like this argument they come out with that it’s wrong for city folk who don’t understand countryside matters to ban foxhunting. I mean, we don’t understand paedophilia either, but we still ban that.
my thinking last night was – this makes us Brits look like such a pathetic little nation. This is an issue loaded with class war and bitterness. It has so little to do with foxes.
I don’t want foxhunting to continue. I support animal rights and welfare issues. I support the anti-Huntingdon Life Sciences campaign to stop the inhumane treatment of primates.
I guess the recent news that a foxhunter accidently shot and killed a small boy instead of a fox hasn’t done a great deal for the pro fox hunting lobby.
Guns are dangerous.
…and that’s not a design fault.
