Boxing Day Hunt Meets

[nottsarb]

Is it right that a fox can get into a chicken shed and kill every chicken in it just for fun or kill young lambs which are a farmers lively hood how would you feel if somebody broke into your shed and stole your chipper.

sorry fella but hunting is one of the least efficient ways of controlling fox numbers! back when I was still shooting we would go out and shoot 6-7 a night in the area we lived in with just 2x people. at the end of the day hunting is just a sport and has next to no contribution to controlling fox numbers

My point is that foxes need controlling be it by fox hunting or being shot with a rifle

Perhaps those wanting to debate the rights and wrongs of fox hunting ought to discuss it in a topic titled as such.

 

I believed this subject to be a discussion and sharing of pictures of Boxing Day meets. It's not about hunting foxes, that's been banned for years now. Old news.

 

 

Edit; apologies, hunting foxes isn't banned, it's hunting with dogs that's banned. Just thought I'd clear that up before anyone shot me down!

18 stoner - I don't mind if people would like to discuss it or not. Its nice to have a proper grown up discussion about Fox hunting. Not the usual "you did this and you did that brigade" that spoil it.

 

Shavey - I agree. Hunting with dogs has been a tradition for thousands of years. Rhodesian Ridgebacks were bred for hunting lions, well before Fox Hounds were bred for hunting Basil.

 

 

In my opinion, Hunting with dogs is healthier for the Fox population because it takes out the weak, ill and diseased stock and keeps a healthy blood line going. Since the Act came into force, on a commercial shoot i now beat on we saw a fourfold increase in numbers. Most of which were weak, ill and diseased. We have photographic evidence which i am not allowed to share on any forum (due to ongoing court case with a very well known national animal "rescue" charity) which showed urban foxes being released into the countryside complete with stitches from the back of one of the vans.

 

 

So now i have put the Cat among the pigeons as it were..........................DISCUSS
