Point is other hunters kill foxes. Or as I've seen, injure the animal & it crawls off to die a slow painful death. Farmers will also kill the foxes as they are predators killing small livestock & even pets. Landowners ask us to hunt foxes. Is it jealousy that motive some people to be against an honest sport.

Keep our English countryside Heritage alive, IM BACKING FOX HUNTING

As I write, foxhunting has been banned. The argument that replacing it with drag hunting is rather flawed, because the trail can be laid over the same variety of terrain with obstacles that could have been encountered while foxhunting. My local hunt has made the transition. However, I am almost certain that drag hunting is often used as a screen for foxhunting because if hounds “accidentally” pick up the scent of a fox, the hunt staff are not held responsible, and there are various ways of increasing that probability depending on the level of surveillance they are under. Even before the ban, the chances of a hunt resulting in a kill were fairly slim (which outs a bit of a hole in the “population control” argument) but when it has occurred, it has involved running a terrified animal to exhaustion over a protracted period, not to mention sending terriers into an earth when the fox goes to ground, hence my misgivings. But more recently there was a case not far from my home of a huntsman feeding live fox cubs to hounds at the kennels, which at the time was condemned by the hunting fraternity itself, but which may have been rooted in anger that he allowed himself to get caught red handed and undermined their cause. Because as the intention was to “educate” young hounds regarding their intended quarry, it seems likely to me that this was, and maybe still is, not an uncommon practice.

We have to kill foxes?? No,we bloody don't. Keep the ban.

liberal cunts who vote labour

The 100 horses suffer much more than the 1 fox!

this guy has a broken nose i wonder how he got it, maybe the bull shit he talks

full of lies, stop killing the beautiful creatures. let them be they are in the country side you are in suburbia/urban areas i used live in the country and i have seen foxed and they are more scared of you that you are of them. Fuckin bullshit.

most hunts are now made up of people from all walks of life.go have a look.the sabs are depressed disenfranchised,ghetto heads,as in lost in their stinky cities.they have no idea what people in the country are about,that is their issue.because its not like the life they live they see it as a threat.the issue of land has always been about the tennent farmer owning not renting the land.there are a lot of small family run farms,they are not rich in money.these are the people who put milk,veg etc in your local super market.but you want to harass the people who are the back bone of most communities.you cant eat a computer or a video camera!!

I love how the narrator mentioned that some of the animal rights lunatics believe fox hunting to be a class war. He hit the nail on the head. It's an ideology straight from the "anarchists" of the early 19th century, and has always had a place in fascism/communism, from Karl Marx to Hitler. Aside from that, Marx, specifically, was a class war inciter, and the vast majority of AR supporters today are Marxists/leftists. God bless this great English sport and the men and women who fought so hard to uphold it.

This video is full of lies! They think shredding foxes for "sport" is humane? They want to cull foxes, but they help the foxes breed so they can get hunted for a nasty "sport"? I mean, Seriously?!

It's funny because now that the hounds don't kill the fox we use a bird of prey, which is just the same, a pack of hounds will kill a fox and then eat it, but a bird of prey will also eat it, so there's basically no difference, SICK ONE ANTI'S.....................

simple ban the ban bring back fox hunting

The misguided activests against foxhunting dont understand that the New World Order wants to stamp out any Spirit in the populace, except for what can be harnessed by them as in police swat teams. The real crualty eminates from the City of London and Wall Street.

The whole scenario is virtually irreversible, people would have to reevaluate the way they live in order to find a working solution. As we all know, most people just aren't willing or capable of putting that kind of pressure on themselves.

Excuse me Mr hunterman, please don't come around here with your common sense and logic. This is about feelings and shit so please just stop.

you really need to think before you speak you obviosly have nothing good to do with your time really get a life and find a new hobby rather than spending your day eritateing people

I kindof disagree with needing to be defensive about the fox hunting. I think all the dogs and the horses would agree with me.

Only Brirts could think a sport was dressing up in outragous outfits, 150 people against a fox that must weigh 8 lbs, followed by 150 dogs and ripping up someone's property. Do they still do the blooding?

I'm glad I hunt in America. Farmers and landowners are mostly supportive and don't care if you use their land as long as you are polite about it and fix your damages. The nonhunting populace doesn't even know foxhunting exists. As for the government....it has many more important issues to tackle than trying to control hunting. It is the least of our worries here!!!

Hunting has never stopped .

Idiot.

Moron.

And fishing isnt? Would you catch a fox in the same way as a fish? Fisherman allways come out with"fish dont feel pain". Bollocks! If fish didnt feel pain they would have died out thousands of years ago, If fish were furry and had vocal chords you might think differently.

A strong, eloquent and reasonable account for why foxhunting should continue. It is refreshing to hear someone place their views calmly, informatively unlike the arrogant, ranting and abusive conduct of those against this country sport!

I spent my childhood in the countryside. I am glad this is banned, and sad that hunts openly flout the law. I know that fox earths were blocked overnight before the hunt, any fox able to evade the hounds and go to ground would be dug or flushed out and then thrown to the hounds. Foxes caught in snares and traps were held captive until they could be released, already injured and exhausted, in front of the hunt to be sure of a kill. It's not at all sporting and it is not useful. Keep the ban.

Tons of dogs and people on horses and one fox. Not exactly fair, is it?

behave hippie employing marksmen to kill vermin. just you keep dreamin bout your socialist utopia when the whole world is just butterflies and rainbows.

yeah by poising them so they die in agony in their holes. or shooting and possibly wounding them so they bleed to death. all dogs have killer instinct they go straight for the throat. The fox is long dead before the hounds rip it apart and share their prize. how many u hippies own a cat, house cats are well feed and they still kill for fun, its in them, its nature. how long before mouse traps and a can of fly killer is deemed inhumane. people need to sort out their priorites.

god dam hippies its not fox hunting they hate its british culture these are the same unwashed idiots that joined up with the tinkers at dale farm and that call her majesty queen elizabeth a "scrounger" only a labour government would be stupid enough to listen to them. and only a labour government would insist on vermin being dispatched humanly and make criminals out of hunters while peados get community orders and halfway houses beside schools.
