Oh surely not since the hunts won't need to breed foxes if they aren't
allowed to hunt them.

Surely you don't believe that hunts breed foxes, do you? Why would they
need to? The ruddy things breed well here all on their own.
Not just my belief, it was proved without any doubt and evidence
published.

Besides, the hunts tell us constantly that most
of the foxes get away.

Yes, a lot do. But any form of fox control is good as far as I'm
concerned.

Yes well some rational people don't simply want to eradicate a species of
our dwindling wildlife because it forces them to make an effort to keep
their stock safe.

>People are still allowed to lamp for them
which is much better at controlling them.

What difference do you see in lamping with lurchers (killing foxes by dogs
at night in the light of a lamp, for those who don't know) and going after
them by day with hounds?
Hunting with hounds is illegal so you would not be allwoed to loose
lurchers on a fox. Since hunting with hounds is illegal when I said lamping
I assumed everyone understood about shooting at night.

Why do you think lamping is better at controlling foxes than hunting?
Because they get more, or what?
Or is it really a class thing?
Class? What has class got to do with anything? Surely my army officer
father and private boarding school education would put me in the pro hunting
league? I'm really not sure I understand what you mean? Or is it that upper
and middle class people can afford the equipment, gun licence etc?
Lamping is better because the unsuspecting fox hgets caught in the
powerful beam of light and his 2 glowing eyes create a perfect target to aim
at. With laser sights it is a quick clean kill.
I am constantly amazed that anyone professing to like animals would happily
see an intelligent species of animal chased to the point of exhaustion
before being torn apart alive by a pack of hounds. Evidence has shown also
that the swift bite to the back of the neck is not always the case.
Would you be happy to dipatch your chickens by throwing them alive into a
mincing machine as some poultry companies do and which is one of the
approved methods of culling chickens?
Well I for one think hunting with hounds, and mincing live chickens is vile
and I don't think much of anyone who thinks it is acceptable.
