Fox Hunting

Really, try learning a little bit about nature and how the human made countryside actually works in all it's reality.....it really is a case of trying to keep a balance.

The farmer at our lockup feeds the foxes. Never had a problem.

Really, try learning that shooting things in the face may not be the answer.

It is here....oh and FYI.....in the face is between the eyes and that my little townie is a good shot that is totally painless. I try every time to wait for that as I hate deep in my gut a wounding.

"farmer at our lockup"........LOL

And those best to decide what that balance is, are those who love to shoot "the flea infested vermin" in the face.

Righto.

Enjoy your excuses and your gun.

(not sure about the LOL lockup comment - we rent a unit on a farm)

Mostly by invite on farmers land.....so no, not me deciding

Most foxes are flea infested
they are vermin when the population is large and there are morons releasing town foxes
in the face is a good shot

next

How large is it compared to the 80's?

Oh right, so you get invited to kill them? I used to see that on the farm land opposite where my folks used to live. They didn't even keep animals on that farm. It was simply an event. Back in the day, when there were none to hunt, they imported them to blow their faces off.

How lovely.

Not a clue (and nor do you) ....it does not matter, the population that does matter is always the local concentration and that is based on breading vixens in the area now/the effect of/efficiency of the guns in the area.
Really, spend some time in the country and learn a little before making more of an arse of yourself.

Yeah, sounds great. I have always thought my life would only be complete once I had dressed up, killed things for no reason and had been 'blooded'.

Idiots are always blind to obtaining knowledge.....

[Digby]

And they always try their best to justify a bloodlust.

Guns do that to people. A nice killing spree followed by a pub lunch.

As I say, foxes used to be imported for these events when there were not enough to kill.

Good luck trying to insult your way out of that one.

You really did surrender all credible claims to a moral high ground several posts ago.
(Not that I grant that you held it in the first place. You have an opinion, nothing more.)

Frankly I am surprised anyone continues to engage with you on this subject.

Perhaps another time in another thread...

[Stickyfinger]

No point talking to a person on the internet who will not even contemplate learning anything....

see ya

Oh, what a surprise. The first hurdle and off you pop...

I was just going to ask why you call them vermin? Has that changed?

"The fox is sometimes referred to as vermin, but it is not, and never has been categorised as such by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA)"

Happy to be corrected.

Can you answer why they were imported to be killed and why artificial earths have been created in more modern times to make sure there was always something to hunt?

Are you going to vanish, too?

I'll keep asking every single day about the vermin aspect and the importing / artificial earth situations, then.

I want to learn. You want me to learn...

Here I am...

Surely one of you can answer?

I'll try again tomorrow.

Why bother? I have no hound in this hunt, but it is quite clear that the two of you would struggle to agree that rain is wet; why not leave it?

I never engaged with you on that subject.

I simply pointed out that your preference for killing some people rather than animals (however it was intended to come across) invalidated your claims to any position of moral superiority.
