    Theresa May is a human rat, can't stand her and any fox hunters.

    I'm all for it as long as I get to chase after the hunters with a dragon and a sub machine gun.

    **** me if Labour want to the 1970s Mayhem wants to take us back to the 1870s.

    Never said that but if you are screaming animal cruelty then you need to cover the entire spectr not just the tiny bit that suits a political agenda.

    Foxhunting doesn't particularly appeal to me but I don't get upset and want to ban it just because it's a sport for toffs. Neither do I think it's a particularly cruel way of controlling the fox population. At least the fox has half a chance.
    Nobody seems to have issues with poisoning rats. It's a long slow death but at least they aren't as cute and cuddly as foxes. Or controlling the songbirds in your garden by owning a cat? My neighbour's cat makes a right mess of them before it kills them.
    It's a difficult subject. The trouble is you can't express an opposing opinion without being vilified.
    Apparently a bull used for bullfighting lives about 50% longer that one used for beef, and in a much better environment.

    The principle is about killing for pleasure, totally unacceptable.

    Of course animal cruelty is unacceptable too.

    But, it's a pack of hounds and the fox gets ripped apart, literally.

    Now, that may be a quick death, but it's not how I'd like to go.

    I call ******** on this.

    There are plenty of cases of hunts digging vixens and kits out of burrows.

    Also not unknown for foxes to be caught, kept in barns and released for the hunt.

    It's not needed, it's stupid and barbaric.

    I was in a pub in Penistone about 20 years ago with my Brother in Law. It was The Spread Eagle. He knew some of the men in there who from the way they were dressed I assumed were local farmers. After a few pints they started passing pictures around of Fox cubs. They were breading them to train the Fox Hounds to kill by throwing a live Fox Cub in to the kennels where they are torn apart. They said some of them were released into the wild for them to hunt. There were so few foxes for them to hunt they were breading them. I'm against it.
