These pompous toffee nosed bastards need to be stopped. What pleasure do they get out of doing this kind of thing to a defenceless animal I do not know. I've heard wildlife presenter (OBE or is it MBE?) Chris Packham is a campaigner against fox hunting and has done videos where hunts are taken place, but whether his motivations are genuine I don't know. Packham never seems to look a day older, he's in his early 60s yet he looks like someone who's in their early 50s.

Fox hunting is illegal but some people are above the law it seems

 

Here is a good article on the history of fox hunting and how these bastards are getting away with still terrorising the poor animals.

I personally abhor all animal cruelty, but I've never understood why people all around the world make a big deal out of the British upper class tradition of fox hunting, yet by comparison you almost never hear anyone complain about the tradition of bull fighting and bull running in Spain, and if you do criticize it you usually get attacked.

I'm no fan of fox hunting however in times gone by it was relied upon to protect live stock for one.

 

Perhaps not so essential these days. 

 

Personally I can't stand the toffs that participate but I have more contempt for the horrible lefties that oppose it.

 

 

Greater evils happening in the world.
