Fox Hunting
This topic was started in the 'Fee Paying Schools' thread and to keep that thread on topic, I decided to open a thread for the purpose of discussing fox hunting.
You may discuss fox hunting that goes on in any country, but you should know that there are considerable differences. Therefore, please include details of what rules or laws govern that hunt. I would also like to know where you stand on the subject. Personally, I am against it. It falls in with the other 'Blood Sports' such as dog fighting, cock fighting and hare coursing. The following are posts from the previous thread... |

Against. I have no problem with hunting if it is for pest control, but fox hunting is completely unnecessary, and brutal.

I'm against it too. I'm not sure we have it here... I would need to ask my mom. (she is vegeterian btw, but she says it's because she doesn't like the taste of the meat)
It sounds barbaric to me, and unnecessary, and there are many other ways to have fun, if that's why people hunt. |

I don't think pictures from a site called 'banbloodysports.com' are that reliable. If they are against fox hunting, of course they dig up and show the bloodiest pictures they can.
It would be better got get information about fox hunting from a more neutral site.

One of Ruinel's comments was 'Who but the nobility and gentry would participate in such barbarism?' (or something to that effect).
While admittedly, when I went hunting, there were many there who bore old and distinguished names but there was also many who were middle-class. Lawyers, doctors- ordinary people. So I disagree it is the exclusive pursuit of the well-bred.

coming form northern nj, there are quite a few hunt clubs up this way. my aunt used to belong to one, but i think they only chased the fox, and never actually killed it. fox hunting can be fun, but it can also be brutal if you don't have the dogs trained well enough- that's how incidents like in those pictures occur. that's not to say i'm for it, it's an odd and rather bloody tradition, but i can also see how it can be fun.

I have no problem with fox hunting. In Normal hunting the kill is not always clean either. I can go and dig up hideous pictures of just gun hunting that didn't go as planned.

But hunting for fun is just wrong - if you hunted for food, then fine, but if you don't there's no reason to kill these animals. |

Okay folks, let's not get too graphic.
