Fox Hunting

[Guest77]

Heard through the grapevine the Back bench Tories are pushing the front bench regarding trying to get it legal again, thoughts?

The need to stop fox`s hunting

 

[Andy78]

Not sure it will make a difference. Did the practice actually ever stop ?

Good question, I believe there have been 2 or 3 at the very most prosecutions, so in reality it probably never stopped, that said it is still illegal lol.

If all the Foxes are as armed to the teeth as the sniper in the photo,maybe its time to negotiate with the furry tailed hotshots :89:

I have definitely seen a fox hunt with dogs actually in progress in the last couple of years.

Question is, if they plan to repeal a law that was a good idea at the time, but has been ignored by the majority, flouted every week on a national scale, and proves impossible to police..... does that mean they will apply the same logic to part P and get rid of it ?

I'd like to see it made legal again, not because I particularly agree with it, in fact I find it quite disgusting, but because it will annoy the hell out of the sabs, and I hate them more than the hunters themselves!

So if hunting with dogs is re-legalised then why not badger or bear baiting? Dog and cock fighting?
They're all equally as abhorrent to me but there's very little difference in them. In all examples an animal ends up being ripped apart.

they should let the dogs chase and tear apart a back bench tory, they are after all as much use as a back pocket in a sock.

The key question here is why didn't Tony Blair ban it all together.............




and countless foxes die every day, through road accidents...... should we ban all vehicles from the road....

My last post was made in jest Trev, I don't really want to see it legalised.

We have to be careful though as often pressure groups will use bans like this to press forward with other forms of hunting. A clear distinction has to be made between cruelty to animals and hunting for purpose.

I very much want to retain my right to shoot and eat rabbit and pigeon without fear of getting my head kicked in by a bunch of balaclava wearing thugs masquerading as animal rights activists!

As far as I'm aware hunting an animal with dogs is illegal so I'm not sure what you mean by that but the second part of your post is ridiculous
