hornyheli Senior Member 220 posts Forum member since 20-02-02	posted 20-03-02 11:49 Go to the latest reply do you think it should be banned because i think it should i mean they have been doing it for ages so why should they stop now?
bigrbuk chatroom waster DS Donor 1074 posts Forum member since 01-05-01	posted 20-03-02 11:53 im guessing you meant to put you dont think it should be banned judging by your later comments. I think it should, its a totally pointless and inhumane way of killing a defenseless animal.
cwmblue Senior Member 198 posts Forum member since 14-03-01	posted 20-03-02 12:19 i dont think it should be banned, mainly because i do it i have several dogs that i take hunting regularly

hornyheli Senior Member 220 posts Forum member since 20-02-02	posted 20-03-02 13:06 yea i meant that it shouldnt be banned but maybe it could have licensing but it should go away totally or the rabbit popuation will shoot up
bigrbuk chatroom waster DS Donor 1074 posts Forum member since 01-05-01	posted 20-03-02 13:09 it would be easy enough to employ rangers or something to keep the fox population at bay, it's the pointless chasing and torturing of them is what i dont like about it
hornyheli Senior Member 220 posts Forum member since 20-02-02	posted 20-03-02 13:16 i can see your point but how come the debate has started about it now, y not 100 years ago. im not a true hunting supporter and i dont know y they do it but for alot of people it is just the trill of chasing the fox that they like
SAFG Junior Member 11 posts Forum member since 19-02-02	posted 20-03-02 14:07 i know a christain who loves her god but she likes killing foxes! Isnt this a bit of a contradiction?
bigrbuk chatroom waster DS Donor 1074 posts Forum member since 01-05-01	posted 20-03-02 14:17 heli - attitudes have changed a hell of a lot in the past 100 years, as have the reasons for fox hunting. Im sure 100 years ago, agriculture and farming were much more important areas of trading, whereas now its all in the commercial sector, the need to kill foxes 100 years ago was a lot stronger than it is today, especially as technology has improved and farms arent exactly as they were 100 years ago.
Danburger Enthusiastic Member 60 posts Forum member since 19-02-02	posted 20-03-02 14:25 personnly i think it should be allowed as foxes are a huge problem 4 farmers . Also most farmers only posess a shotgun which if you no how it works would put a few pellets in the fox andn then leave it to bleed to death
bigrbuk chatroom waster DS Donor 1074 posts Forum member since 01-05-01	posted 20-03-02 14:30 so allowing a fox to be chased for hours at a time and then savaged by a huge pack of dogs is more humane? Debatable! Im sure a calculated cull properly researched, although obviously not adantageous to the fox, would be a much better way of restricting the fox population, and would be much more humane. Cant the hunters just go to a football game instead?
mafryer The Guv'nor 1232 posts Forum member since 12-12-99	posted 20-03-02 15:19 Frankly, I think there are a zillion more important issues facing society, and it really frustrates me that there's such a fuss made over something which I think is quite unimportant. If animal rights protesters were as focussed on what I see as more "worthy" causes, such as the reduction of poverty, hunger, disease, human rights abuses, bigotry, energy inefficiency etc, then the world would be a better place. THEN they could start worrying about our animal friends. The Government is doing a bad enough job as it is without being distracted by fox hunting. Furthermore, the ban in Scotland is proving unworkable - it will be just the same in the rest of the UK.
russbillau The Jinxed One 161 posts Forum member since 23-04-01	posted 20-03-02 15:36 I agree with Mark, although it isnt that nice there are more important things to worry about. If they were to ban it what would be next too, Shooting ? Fishing ? They all fall into the same catorgory really
bigrbuk chatroom waster DS Donor 1074 posts Forum member since 01-05-01	posted 20-03-02 15:53 im not saying i dont think there are more important issues, im just answering the question posted. I dont know about you russ, but i cant remember the last time a fish was caught and given to a pack of hounds to rip to shreds? Shooting? Fair enough the animal dies, but its not quite as savage.
willtas Senior Member 182 posts Forum member since 03-12-01	posted 20-03-02 16:14 fox hunting,badger baiting,c*ck fighting,dog fighting.all the same thing really blood sports which some sick people find enjoyment in doing.
kevinb1977 Senior Member 554 posts Forum member since 12-11-01	posted 20-03-02 18:31 It should be banned, if not then the animal rights activists should get on their bikes, round up a load of foxes and hunt down the snobby blood-lusters.
philk Fat B*****d 4149 posts Forum member since 12-12-99	posted 20-03-02 19:39 I don't like to watch of a fox being hunted and ripped to shreds so it should be banned - but I enjoy fishing! I don't like to watch people being beaten up on a Saturday night on Southsea seafront - but I enjoy boxing? Seems I enjoy some blood sports but not others. How many of you are in the same boat?
rshepherd1000 Just Bring It! DS Donor 651 posts Forum member since 01-10-01	posted 20-03-02 21:07 you're all missing the point. foxes enjoy it! they love the thrill of the chase, the buzz of high risk hide and seek, it gives them somthing to live for. I say keep fox hunting as we must at the very least uphold foxes civil liberties and must not give into selfish animal rights protesters who want to spoil the enjoyment of the animals they claim to be campaigning for. keep the fox's fun!!
Rangers Senior Member 357 posts Forum member since 24-07-01	posted 20-03-02 21:35 The Govenment will never back down from anything will they? So I think it should be licened every where.
Davy Everyone's favourite DS player 1366 posts Forum member since 24-10-01	posted 20-03-02 22:58 it is already banned in scotland.
hornyheli Senior Member 220 posts Forum member since 20-02-02	posted 21-03-02 08:47 scotland are stupid it shouldnt be totally banned it should go with some ristrictions
Davy Everyone's favourite DS player 1366 posts Forum member since 24-10-01	posted 21-03-02 09:04 why are they stupid? is it cos they have banned a sick sport that a bunch of sad old men want to play.
hornyheli Senior Member 220 posts Forum member since 20-02-02	posted 21-03-02 13:40 i can see your point but i dont think they had to ban it totally. i think restritions should be in place instead. did they have a referendome on it in scotland?
kevinb1977 Senior Member 554 posts Forum member since 12-11-01	posted 21-03-02 14:24 Foxes are dogs, killing a dog is illegal so killing a fox should be ilegal as well. Therefor all toffs that take part should be locked up.
mafryer The Guv'nor 1232 posts Forum member since 12-12-99	posted 21-03-02 15:58 Killing dogs isn't illegal. Killing them cruelly is.
f1only Junior Member 6 posts Forum member since 24-02-02	posted 21-03-02 16:10 The perfect solution is that we ban fox hunting (and hunting with dogs generally) but so the country folk have some thing to do and jobs wont be be lost we let peadaphiles drug dealers pimps, rapists have a ten minute head start, and then let the dogs loose. Seriously I mean it. Less ppl in prison, streets safe, and nobody but a bluddy do gooder such as a left wing socail worker would argue my point.

hornyheli Senior Member 220 posts Forum member since 20-02-02	posted 22-03-02 13:47 but there are jobs at risk but overall i think it will be banned anyway

Squibbs Senior Member 115 posts Forum member since 09-02-00	posted 22-03-02 21:00 To say you shouldn't do something because there are more important things to sort out is ridiculous. Maybe at work I shouldnt see the children who are only a little bit ill with chest infections but I should change specality and take up cardiac surgery instead. Foxes clearly dont like being hunted and there are other more humane ways of keeping their numbers down without charging around on horses with a lot of hungry dogs.
