fox hunting

who likes the fox hunting and who agrees with me and brian that its wrong?
i think its not a "sport" as people call it, personaly i think its cruel, why go kill an animal thats just doing what it has to do to live, for god sake we do worse to live than foxes do, they kill some chickens, we cut down trees which affects the oxygen since we get most of our oxygen from trees, and we are the ones causing global warming which causes huge floods and huge heat waves, out way of living is kill the earth we live on, a foxes way of living is kill some chickens, tehy give people a slight ghrudge of anger and we then go kill them for fun! how sick is that! i mean come on, oh and that time that fox attacked those kids, that only happened because we feed them which takes away their fear of humans so they come to us for food, and when we forget to feed them they get closer to home, we need to remember these are wild animals, not pets. so basicaly we make them tame to humans, then they attack us because of OUR actions, so we then go kill them, and some people say killing foxes is needed to keep the population of foxes down. well there is a huge population of humans on earth to unless you havent noticed, are we going to go make friends with people around teh world then when they least expect it shoot their brains out? no! so why with foxes, they are living creatures like us, just because we can destroy the earth dosent mean we are the most important creatures on earth, just the oposite! we need to stop thinking we are all so important because it is killing the earth!

whos on my side with this?

There is no argumant in favour of fox hunting other than "tradition", which is a mixture of selective reading and confabulation anyway. This English upper-class hobby of cruelty will have to stop once and for all, along with bullfighting, cock fighting, dog fighting, and the whole lot of barbaric survivals from the middle ages.

true! were not living in the middle ages anymore, we need a change! and a change in thew right direction!

Bow hunting of deer is also a cruel "sport" because often the deer run away with the arrow in them and are unable to be tracked by the bow hunter.  Imagine the suffering that then takes place.  And if you are against it, you get the cold shoulder treatment from neighbors.  It is completely infuriating.

This is typical of the underclasses who have no understanding of life beyond the front door of their council house. Foxes are vermin and do far more damage than killing the odd chicken. In fact foxes are responsible for the deaths of millions of chickens not to mention cows, sheep, pigs and zebras. They also spread diseases such as T.B, AIDS, black death and cold sores. The urban fox has been known to attack humans as was recently publicised in the case of the two babies that were attacked while they slept in their cots and one can only speculate about the millions of other attacks which were never reported. Foxes have also been linked to organised crime and international terrorism. It's believed that at least 2 of the 9/11 attackers had bushy tails.
I'm also a keen supporter of badger gassing, seal clubbing and whaling and I'm sure if you took the time to research these harmless pastimes, you would realise that the world would be a better place if we stopped listening to the hippies and tree huggers, got out into the fresh air and intentionally caused suffering to animals.

I really don't have the time to look into these hobbys of yours, as all my time is presently consumed by those beautiful sports dwarf tossing, cudgelfighting and small-scale genocide.

Ah yes. the noble sport of cudjie-fighting. I cant understand why the olympic commitee hasn't introduced cudjie-fighting yet.

Hi lifetimefan, was watching the telly quite late the other night and stumbled across an interview with Brian May on BBC Two's "Hardtalk".  The interviewer was a bit of a prick at times and clearly wasn't too well informed by his researchers, but Brian soon put him right.  Part of the 20-odd minute interview was spent talking about fox-hunting and killing badgers, here's the link:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00tvsww/HARDtalk_Brian_May_Musician/

I didn't see anyone else talk about this, so I'll probably post the link in the serious discussions too.

i'm sure Freddie was well into cockfighting but thats for another topic...

Freddie usually won the cockfights.

The idea of foxhunting really being a tradition is probably a fallacy on as grand a scale as "the vuvuzela is an important South African cultural instrument and it's racist for people to complain about it".

I agree that fox hunting is cruel, but my family have chickens... and some of my friends do too.  My family's ones so far have been ok, altho foxes have tried to get in.  But one of my friends has lost countless chickens to foxes -- incl foxes getting in and killing all the hens and not eating them.  And i have another friend who hunts and trains huntiing dogs, and he says if the dogs are properly trained, the fox dies instantly and that they will overrun the country if not killed.  :/  so while i dont like foxhunting, im never quite sure how much of it is that im squeamish and just want things to be 'nice'.  And in a way... most of us kill spiders and dont think abt it... and many of us eat meat...
Anyone use a feather pillow?  Ever hear of the conditions chickens are raised in for feather production?  Far more cruel then shooting a fox... and yet we turn a blind eye.

thank you so much for the link thistleboy 1980 :D
and yes, the newsreoprter dose seem a bit weird, and damn it is so annoying the way they always make people like bri seem so perfectic by the way they talk to them, and the news papers, ppff, dont get me started on the news papers, i just found an article about bri thinkin the it wasnt a fox the had attacked the twins, and that was early in the even and the news papers fucking jumped at bri! and then i found out u could leave a comment usin twitter, and i did and oh my days i had fun tellin them perfectic i think they are for twisting storys and practicaly bullysing people,
im going to stop now otherwise i wont shut up and i may bring in the odd assassin

"Ever hear of the conditions chickens are raised in for feather production?  Far more cruel then shooting a fox... and yet we turn a blind eye."

The argument is not valid, because no one's saying it's okay to mistreat chickens for making pillows ...   besides which you can buy pillows which don't have chicken feathers in them.  I understand your point about meat eating, of course, but pillows aren't relevant.
