yes! absolutely! if they want their right to hunt foxes, i want my right to hunt them. or send them butt-naked & unarmed into a pit against, say, a strong, healthy adult lion/tiger/bear. if! they come back, they can hunt whatever they want. personally, i'd like to sit in a tree with a high-velocity rifle & pick the sadist, murdering scum off the backs of their horses.

You should give them the same sporting chance they give the fox. Wait until they leave their homes, board them up to make sure while you have the hounds about the Hunters can't hide back in thier safe havens, then hunt them. I mean, if they block up fox holes at night so the fox is out, why can't we make sure they will be there.
And to some of those who say they give the fox a fighting chance... that's crap. I have a friend who lives in the country and i know how they hunt the fox. They have no chance against 12 hounds, a handfull of horses and no way of hiding if need be, beacuse they have been hunting all night, they are too tired to run away. How is that a fighting chance?

No - because then you're lowering your standards down to the same murderous satanic level as theirs!!!! I certainly agree that it is an awful thing to be involved in though.
As a horseowner - but antihunting - I do know that the majority of hunt clubs rarely ever even get a scent so really they're not as bad as they are made out to be and usually spend the day trotting around fields freezing their bits off in hope of the dogs finding a scent - but when the do find one - I think the level of stress and cruelty involved for the fox is horrifying.
In todays age there really is no need to have "fox" hunting - in my opinion a drag hunt would be way better - (a) because there is no cruelty involved and (b) they are guaranteed a great days riding over the set out course!
I know "tradition" has a lot to do with fox hunting and its considered a great "sport" but I think its an outdated form of cruelty - not just for the fox, but also for the horses which are expected to travel over rough and dangerous terrain.
These no right or wrong answer to this dilemma - but alot of people have very different opinions!

some how i don't think that would be allowed to happen but i am glad that fox hunting has been banned though some people think that they can bend and break these rules apparently its a great way to keep the number of foxes down as they are pests i actually think its barbaric to chase a fox to near exhaustion and then have the hounds rip it to pieces i have seen enough evidence to know that this is the truth i know some people will not agree with me its not a way of keeping the numbers down its a blood thirsty SPORT if it wasn't why were stags hunted this way too do they kill livestock etc etc what happens to the hounds when they are no good any more and to the horses when they go lame I'm glad it was banned and i hope it stays this way .

Well, bitten off by the dogs definately!! Although, that's pretty horrid for the dogs. I felt guilty when I chucked a glass of water over two foxes fighting right outside my window. What's good for the goose....

no. They give the fox a chance to live. If the fox is smart enough to outmanuver the dogs and horses, they will win. Most foxhunts are not successful.

no that is ig. and what do you know about foxhunting anyway? i don't think you have anyplace to judge these people who foxhunt. i ride western but i still think that any style of riding should be respected because riding is not as easy as most people think it is. so why do't you go jump on a horse and see if it dosen't throw you?

Because it's so wonderful to have a fox around-they are charming little critters, after all, right? Hell no-they are destructive little pests. Please-do not ever set foot out of whatever city you live in, you may not be able to survive. Those cute little cuddly things you see in Disney cartoons is not the reality of the fox.

That is a bit harsh. Unless you know the facts i feel that it is unfair to judge. This is a tradition going back hundreds of years and it can just be wiped out by some people ignorant of country life.
