Fox hunting is vile, I spent years campaigning to ban this so called sport, I have followed hunts , watched the fox being ripped to pieces , watched the excitement on the faces of the hunters as they watched and roared if the animal screamed , I have seen the terror in the eyes of foxes we managed to save . I have even seen autumn cubbing where the vixen tries to defend her cubs. Anyone in favour of hunting could perhaps explain why , during the foot and mouth outbreak when fox hunting couldn't take place , was there no increase in damage caused by foxes ?
And think of the hounds too, they are only allowed to live approx five to seven years , then shot .
Fox hunting continues because much of our countryside is owned by wealthy land owners who have a finger in every pie . Are police going to arrest magistrates or the high sheriff of the county?
