they just enjoyed the riding while the fox was terrorised and running for its life.

They should have followed the rules! Trails laid across fields of pregnant ewes?? Trails laid across main roads?? I think not. Foxhounds in general do not get to make old age - I have never seen an old foxhound. What do you honestly think happens to them? Why are hounds needed at all in such huge numbers anyway? We are not in the dark ages.

Fox hunting, cubbing, took place in the dark ages

Greyhounds are bred to chase but make wonderful pets. I'm sure retired foxhounds can be socialised too.
As a vegetarian I cannot see the difference between ordinary abattoirs and those for kosher or halal approved meat.
