Making the news today....

I think it’s a shame to admit but the killing of foxes with dogs was outlawed and the main reason it’s still in the public’s eye and raising so much content as is its one rule for us and they can get away with breaking the rules....that’s fair enough despite how much I think it’s the best way to control countryside foxes, I think a lot of hunts conduct them selves in a manor which wins them no support with the majority of the general public too that does not help them ..but I’m more annoyed that because of this blowing up again the possibility of all other “blood” sports will suffer, I’m massively in to game fishing and I’ve returned well over 50 salmon and sea trout last season .. kept one early salmon but I care about the future of the species so returned all the others that I caught like most of the thousands of other anglers out there in the U.K...so find it unfair its in the blood sport category, game angling is changing massively and it’s only a few idiots who are irresponsibly killing fish in my view.

Who knows, they are probably friends.

Perzactly it's probably the same set of people that also partake of the shoot. The gamekeeper's sole purpose in life is to cater for his employers foibles. When I worked for a large land management company all the gamekeepers were employed by the forestry department, as those expenses were tax deductible.

I still think a strong fox will go back to “its” territory than go on miles away... will a hunt really carry on for 20 miles ?

Thing is the leftist class war environmentalists do acknowledge the need for apex predators hence all the calls for lynx and wolfs to be reintroduced.. but that’s ok because it will only be killing the toffs sheep.

 

By Christ, you're on form today son!

I’m obviously not trying hard enough if first, Mr C calls me a socialist and then you seem to imply that any anti hunt sentiment equates to being a lefty class war sandal wearing yogurt eating enviro hippy ?

My appeny worth is. 

SW Scotland pheasant shoot estate, every winter would see heaps of raddled carcasses not fit fr dog food, delivered by bunch of hurrah henrys. Only present wildlife was Red squirrels ( protected spp) nowt else on estate even moles targeted ?  pontless use of particularly good farming lowland area. Plantation conifer of the Kershope area. 

 

Midlands deer shooting ( munjak) highways (  Parker Hale on my ticket) safety and tree crop protection. Bit of fox shooting fr sheep farmer there ( Voehr. 22) so Fox control is doable without the Hunt. Deer you have to shoot ( tastey )  Pheasant shooting isnt a sport in my book, its a Class priveledge. Waste of money.

Ah, you can't beat a reasoned argument with a lightning fast riposte. I must remember this well thought out phrase of yours, Mr Johnson. What was it again? Oh, yes. F*ck off. That's quite enough of your salty talk on here, young man.

You well know it was an entirely appropriate, suitable and proportional response, carefully crafted after due thought to the suitably robust nature of the recipient and in response to a deliberate and intentional attempt to side track away from the key point of the discussion and the direction it was taking. 
 

Not always appropriate I’ll grant you, but under the prevailing circumstances in which it was deployed, and the recipient, it was entirely appropriate, swift, precise and to the point. 
 

Hang over better then ?
