Fox hunting & the banning issues

[Ginge]

As Bill Bailey said....."Hunting is natural...even foxes hunt....YEAH...OK, but they arent mounted on the backs of pigs with a slavering pack of shrews."

 

IMO If it was a fair fight...I.E. 1 man up against 1 fox then YES its a "sport" but 40 guys on 40 horses and a load of blood thirsty dogs ISNT a sport...its animal cruelty

 

Some people say "you cant ban fox hunting...imagine the unemployment"

 

Another Bill Bailey quote to retort...

 

"OF WHAT EXACTLY??? 40,000 beagles kicking their heels...just get them back down the labs on the fags"

"Hunting is natural...even foxes hunt...."

One of the most tenuous arguments in favour of fox hunting. The crucial difference between foxes and humans is: we should know better!

 

As for "natural", well, using that line of reasoning you could argue that rape and child murder are "natural" (loads of animals in the wild do it).
