OK. How should a political decision be reached on the issue? It was banned a few years ago - what should the current government have done? To put my cards on the table - I think they should have just left the subject alone.
I agree; it should have been left alone by the current lot. Blair and Co. should not have made a big deal of it in Parliament. The free vote invited a non-debate. The government should either have treated the change as any other policy commitment or left the subject entirely alone.ATG said:

Foxes are just a pest they have destroyed my Chickens and Ducks and given my Dogs mange I hate them and they do need controlling. It should never have been turned into a political football .

Not sure if I’ve misread your post and need a whoosh parrot or not however there were quite a few protests up and down the country. Didn’t see any screaming idiots come to disrupt things either.

I’m no fan of foxes. Too many in our garden sFoxes are just a pest they have destroyed my Chickens and Ducks and given my Dogs mange I hate them and they do need controlling. It should never have been turned into a political football .
tting and trying to get the kids bunny’s But if they are a pest that needs culling. Cull them quickly. No animal should be tortured for sport. Now if they ate the Fox, some sort of Surrey cultural thing perhaps
Just watching Wild Alaska on the travel channel, some chap has just killed and skinned two foxes so he can sell the fur to fund his life and survival in the artic circle.
Oddly, there were no protesters trying to stop him.
I guess there were no decent gastro pubs nearby to meet up, or maybe the universal credit didn’t stretch to a return flight to Alaska?
Maybe the outraged on here could organise something?
Come on people, killing foxes for fur to survive, the comfortable middle classes and the feckless unemployed protest attendees must come together and go to Alaska to tell him how to live his life, unless of course there is an imminent fracking protest.Then we have the true definition of moral dilemma..............
Merry Xmas

very true. He’s tried to make a comparison between two entirely different things; one person kills fox for survival. Another gets dressed up like a clown and plays pretend cowboy whilst drinking merrily and eating mince pies. Norfolk’ing clue is right!

There were about twenty scruffy looking sabs at Cholesbury Common yesterday chanting their normal nonsense. Around 2000 people attended to enjoy the day, no violence, nor I suspect were anybodies views changed by by this mangy little bunch of party poopers.Didn’t see any screaming idiots come to disrupt things either.

They gave our dog mange, and the local fox population has paid a high price as a result. If you want to control them, then shooting them with night vision is absolutely the way to go, you can often get several in an evening. We often get the townies releasing urban foxes round here - you can tell those ones because they are starving to death. Being eviscerated by an expanding .223 is actually a good outcome for them.Foxes are just a pest they have destroyed my Chickens and Ducks and given my Dogs mange I hate them and they do need controlling. It should never have been turned into a political football .
I can’t get worked up about hunting, but it does seem a pretty inefficient way of killing foxes.
