Buzzer, there not pets there working dogs,
I find it slighlty odd that in pursuit of the saving of these poor animals that other poor animals should be tortured and slaughtered ? ...

Unfortunatly rightly or wrongly that is what will happen, and don't think the cute fox will now run freely. Shooting, snaring and poisoning, you name it will take over and continue.

some of these Bast**ds are only interested in other peoples busines, wish I had the time to protest about things
I don't agree with hunting with dogs but I hate this ever increasing population of goodie goodies
I would love to know how much it has cost to come to this point - surly there is much more important things in life we need to sort out first
wish the govenment spent as much time talking about how they are going to catch more car theives

IMHO, a governent should be there to provide the infrastructure for our lives not nannying us over our everyday activities.
Despite this afternoon's protest "scuffles" I don't hear anyone calling for the banning of batons...

The fox is vermin and if there is food available which there always is in some sort of fashion they will survive.

Yes Moses but because it doesn't conform with Human farming and expansion it is forced to go to its nearest food source which, will be a farm 
You cant blame the fox for not travelling 2 miles to eat a **** sandwich when there is a 5* restaurant just up the road can you

This really surprised me, I would have expected the balanced view of the world that is scoobynet to be the other way around!
Ban it - 72 - 53.33%
Keep it - 63 - 46.67%
Oh well, you live and learn I guess!

I watch so-called animal lovers get all tearful when they see a fox hunt, but they don't shed a tear for the pig that went into their sausages, the cow that went into their shoes or the spider they crush against the wall with smug satisfaction and a glint in their eye.
Not really a fair comparison is it.
Put any of you lot in a position where you pitch your wits against a quarry, you overcome that quarry and make the kill you will be buzzing, literally shaking from the adrenalin, I guarantee it.
The only difference between us is that I can admit it.

So, keep hunting with a rifle for land management reasons, but ban hunting with hounds...
IMO anyway
