Badum tish!

I tried to throw on an old Holly Hobbie onesie and a hard hat to go get rid of them, but my donkey wasn't fast enough!

Cubs came out shortly after, but it was too dark to get a shot.
2 out of 3 dead by car in a week or so.
So, your defence for fox hunting is "it's OK, some get killed by cars and some die from natural diseases"

If that's as good as you can get, why not chase poor people with a pack of dogs for fun?

But probably hit by normal people who didn't do it deliberately and as well as being a bit concerned about damage to their car are actually a bit upset about it.

Wouldn't provide much sport, most of them are far too fat to run far over hedges and ditches. Much more humane too shoot them, they make a larger target.

Town Foxes......try reading the posts in the thread.

The only town foxes seen here as the starving sick ones released by morons to "give them their freedom".....you are welcome to keep them and run them over anytime.

They just waste good ammunition (even if it is the kind thing to do to them)

Human beings are quite different from animals. Well, most of them. I've been on a train with some Man City fans.

Not really. It's not as though humans dislike being hunted with packs of dogs; but foxes love it. hehe

How many Foxes are or can be killed by Hunting ?. From personal experience and having lost countless Chickens and Ducks as well as my poor Dogs picking up mange from them I cant stand the little fkers.

You're right, it's not that at all.

As many as can be shot on suitable land.

How many ?....around here it is increasing as farmers have given more shooters permission to use their land now the hunts don't chase/control.

The increase in morons from towns releasing is also noticeable.

Are we for or against here?

There's so many in and around town now. Hunting them down with dogs is just the same as the chickens getting ripped apart by the foxes isn't it?

Cheers,

I suppose it is; assuming all the foxes get together, dress up and make a day of it whilst explaining that it is required to keep numbers down.

Funny. However the dressing up part is irrelevant surely?

It does keep the population down and the amount of fixes you see in London for example is getting silly.

Just a question

Why is the traditional dress of a few limited hunts of such importance to you and not the subject matter of fox control/method/need ?

Rightly or wrongly, it suggests to others that the tradition is more important than the act of pest control.

Pest control:


Hunter:


Surely even you can see that?

Why ?-----------

Would you be OK with it if they had boiler suits and donkey jackets then ? This is just the preconceived thinking of the trendy objector based on zero knowledge and prescribed "class advantage".

Every black guy who dresses like a "Gansta" is a drug dealer and carries a gun.......

Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason. I don't think we really need to delve into the inner psyche of homo-sapiens on this thread to understand why that is do we?

It does seem that the only one obsessing about "class advantage" here is you. It's been stated many times that some of us find these "pest controllers" just as obnoxious:
