He has no choice does he? Pheasant pen damaged, poults released for predators to take. Loss of birds, poor shoot, lose job.

Soooo, it keeps him in a job?

And does he manage to find the time to carry out this additional burden that clearly happens year in year out within his normal working hours? 

You’re on a hiding to nothing on this one Andy. 
 

It simply cannot be argued, sanely, logically and rationally. 
 

That’s not to say you can’t disagree. Of course you can. 
 

But it’s genuinely a fools errand to try and rationalise any argument in favour. 
 

Give it up.....

 

Go on.....

 

You can do it....

If you mean the pro's and cons of Fox Hunting I agree with you whole heartily. I am 100% against it. 

 

It does not mean I cannot see the local implications of its complete removal.

There you have it Egger. 
 

It is illegal to intentionally set out to find and kill a fox with horse & hounds. 
 

Those that seek to support / excuse / deny the illegality presumably have equal disregard for all other laws?

 

Its frankly ridiculous and every body knows it’s ridiculous to keep trotting out the lame pseudo justifications. 
 

The compromise was trail hunting and that has been wholly, undeniably and unequivocally blown out of the water by what has been observed over the years since the laws were changed and is validated, irrefutably, by the recent webinar. 

Of course they have a disregard for all other laws, by the way I'm going to Barnard Castle to watch this years Boxing Day hunt.

I was just about to edit that in case a ? didn’t ‘get’ the intended manner of the conversation (as I was sure you would) and your ‘laughy’ reassured me. 
 

No antagonism intended but I’m sure you appreciate that. ??

Maybe, or maybe they would not need his services full time where his employers no longer allowed to hunt foxes.
