I just think the rules need to be changed a bit.</p>

&quot;Hunting&quot; should involve wrestling a Grizzly bollock-naked with no defensive armaments. </p>

Let see how many of the blue blood b@stards carry on then...
</p>

 

aye its about time the ban was lifted and all the pompus do gooders go back to knitting of felching foxes

 

That fella on the horse on that pic.

Like to wipe that fvcking smile off his face. The ****.

 

Paul Weller once wrote something on the back of one of a single that summed up the hypocrisy of hunting.

 

How can they call it 'sport'? There has to be some sort of competition element for it to be a sport, the fox doesn't have a chance. W@nkers. There is a lass at work that is involved in it, I kind of stopped talking to her when I found out, it just changed my impression of her, and I told her so. She reckons it still goes on regardless of the law.

Found one the other day with a squirrel with its foot caught,what a horrible way to die.
"A death for no reason its murder"

 

about time

no I'm not blue-blooded obviously nor I have I been anywhere near a fox hunt, grouse shoot or any blood sports but it always seemed to me like interference just for the sake of it by goody-goodies often living outside communities not involved in hunting and with no appreciation of its importance therein. Also foxes are vermin and there is no reason to protect them. Furthermore they are still allowed to be shot at the end of a foxhunt now so you might as well let them carry on as normal instead of this half-measure that pleases neither side.

fox-hunting is a British tradition and I have absolutely no objection to it and think it very possible that if (when?) the tories win the next election they will have a majority in favour of it.

I'm not a tory either just to avoid additional abuse after my views on foxhunting I just think they will probably win and this is something they are likely to do; there are two sides to every arguement and I'm just putting mine across.

 

ah that old chestnut tradition.

lets go back to bear fighting, badger baiting and the lord of the manor having his wicked way with newlywed brides on their wedding night. nice.

as for being an outsider, lets allow paedos a free reign, after all i'm too old for them to be interested in me so leave 'em to it, eh?

 

Well said Knowlesy...nothing more annoying than do gooders who do more harm than good.......go and moan about something worth moaning about...all you Mary Whitehouse types....

 

You're labouring under the misconception (amongst others)...

</p>

...that foxhunting keeps the numbers down when the fact is that the hunts actively encourage their breeding</p>

 

</p>

******* hell.</p>

 

Never ceases to amaze.

</p>

The ill-informed, moronicballocks that hunt supporters come out with.</p>

 

Spot On

Why some people believe they have a right to inflict pain and suffering for their own sick gratification is beyond me. But if they really think like that, why don't they just say so instead of inventing all sorts of lies in a pathetic attempt to justify their depraved activities?

 

swearing...thats always a good arguement....

 

RE: Never ceases to amaze.

I am not ill-informed I completely understand your arguement and after a reasoned judgement I have come to a different conclusion to that of yourself and others, although there are those throughout the country who a similar way of thinking to my own; I wouldn't however judge someone because they held a different view to me, and as such I was simply pointing out the other side of the arguement, .

indeed without swearing

 

You misunderstand.

</p>

My &quot;judgement&quot; was not of you but of the ill-informed moronic ballocks you're coming out with and, as such, is perfectly valid.</p>

 

Swearing always make me respect the views of people who are intolerant of others...

 

Having read what you have to say...

</p>

...I don't give a flying **** whether you respect my views or not.</p>

So ballocks.</p>

 

Nice one....do you know any more swear words.???
