For people freaking out, hounds are incredibly thick. Most of these foxes probably got away. 3.59 for example

Love the huntsman at the end roaring "STAND STILL".

[@loganpollock1689]

People would get so upset by the chasing of coyotes with hounds, then we got a hot summer and a rabies outbreak which spreads very rapidly among coyote packs. When everybody's dog and every hiker on the park trails were in danger from these rabid beasts then people changed their attitude quickly.

[@murraymcquarrie6813]

Every sunday i am out with the hounds and it is great fun and everyone is happy because the farmers stoke will be ok and the dogs have had a run and are keeping the tradition going but now you chase the fox and then shoot it

[@uptonsavoie]

Tall KnowitAll--Foxes do indeed kill livestock, especially lambs and chickens. If you haven't farmed for a living, it is easy to sympathize with the fox which is still classified as vermin in England. I used to farm, and I did not lose lambs or chickens because I locked them up in the evening--something a farmer with a very large flock cannot do. I actually lost some chickens in broad daylight, although they might have fallen victim to hawks or raccoons as well as foxes.

[@tallknowitall1151]

Bud Savoie so I guess we should torture and kill all prey birds and any other animal that can kill a chicken? A little fox can kill a sheep? Funny thing I saw a wolf trying to kill a sheep and it didn't have enough time before it was scared away. Now a wolf is about 3x the size of a fox and it couldn't take down the sheep before it was scared off. Even if your bull shit narrative of "pest" control was true, there is no need for a bunch of queer men to dress up in tight red coats and chase a poor little fox on horses, with dogs, and guns. Nothing about that is masculine and I'm sure the worlds ecosystem would be just fine without you guys torturing foxes. There's nothing respectable about a person who claims to be a man yet spends his time enjoying torturing animals. You do it because a fox steals your chicken? I'd LOVE to see what you would do if 4 or 5 guys stole your wallet and you didn't have your gun. I bet you wouldn't even try to get it back.

[@Oakleaf700]

You said it...with proper housing it is possible to keep foxes out of hen houses/runs. Foxes can and do do damage, but the myth that hunting is done to quell numbers is nonsense.The local hunt here [a 'high status' one] has coverts where they allow foxes to breed unmolested all spring and summer to provide the field with ''good sport''.

[@andrewedwards67]

I honestly don't know,none of this footage was filmed by me.

[@jimnowak3960]

We use to hunt fox in Texas at night. The dogs would run them for hours, when the gray fox tired from running he would go up a tree just like a cat. The hunt was over. Red fox would do the same but they preferred holes in the ground. We would not kill the fox, it was the chase that mattered. It was a lot of fun to sit and listen to them run.

[@theozofwizards6923]

Jim Nowak yes please can I have some more sir👍🏻

[@uptonsavoie]

I had a friend (now deceased) who owned a pack of Walkers. He ran them at night, and the music of the hounds was beautiful. The hounds never caught the fox; in fact, some of the hounds run all their lives and never actually see a fox. This is more properly fox "running", not "hunting", since the trailing and the music is the point.

[@jimnowak3960]

@@uptonsavoie To most people all they hear is a pack of dogs barking but to the hound men it is music to their ears. They know each dogs mouth and know who is leading the pack. I loved listening to them.

I'm just blown away at how many arseholes want to get dressed up and go chase a poor starved animal with a pack of demonised dogs and rejoice at it being torn to shreds! I therefore can not understand the win factor that these people feel at the end of it all, especially with all the effort and expense involved? I wish one of them could explain it to me!

Tradition and a way of life

[@daniellemileham8111]

It's illegal in Canada. But it still happens here. They claim they are not killing fox however they are exhausting it to literal death and that makes them happy because they are lunatics. They also once told me to keep my dog inside ([ live in very wildlife rich area in the country). I told them to go f t s. This is my property, arrogant fat slobs. Get fk off my land!

[@baconservice]

Amazing bits of film. The music is breathtaking.

Dont take this the wrong way, but give the fox 10 minutes to get going, before you chase him with hounds. The hounds missed the entire point, of getting the track straight, because you turn them loose on a sight chase. The fox is clever, and in no danger of being caught, so all is good, preserving the hunt and hound bloodline. Nice hounds you have, just let them figure out the scent instead of initiating a sight chase is all .

[@sarahrobsonbarrister]

The poor fox had managed to find safety underground, and you bastards dug him out to be ripped apart. This is DISGUSTING.

[@peterwebb8732]

You'd rather they fed him poison, wouldn't you. Have you ever watched an animal die from poison? You wouldn't watch because you'd be too busy vomiting. You never offer alternatives.

[@waynemiller510]

I hunt with hounds. That shit there is bullshit. I bet them hounds couldn't catch a damn thing unless it was turned loose to them. That's disgusting bullshit. That is not hunting!!!

I agree, but you need to use rational persuasion to make your point valid instead of cursing fellow hunters. These guys look to be hunting in Europe, probably a lot different than the States. Just try to have a rational conversation, give pointers , tips, advice to them, instead of cursing them, it will help them and you, being a better hunter and mentor, especially if you both share the same interests as houndsmen.

[@bikerluke182]

Stephan Bodini Probably about as much as the cow I ate for dinner enjoyed being in the slaughterhouse

[@Yaris510]

Sketchy Luke Ah, but eating meat is natural; besides, what would one do with millions of domestic livestock if one stopped eating them? Keep them as pets? I am, of course, totally opposed to intensive, factory farming - but that's an argument for keeping animals in free-range conditions. Read Stephen Budiansky's 'The Covenant of the Wild'

[@bikerluke182]

I'll give that book a look sometime. I'm not suggesting it would be a good thing to bring back fox hunting but, whilst it's quite shocking for some to witness, it really doesn't seem any more unnatural to me than eating meat. Letting a pack of dogs hunt is a lot more "natural" than feeding it dog food at home. I live in the countryside and regularly see lots of creatures get torn apart by other animals. Most living things on this planet die in the teeth of something else. Again, I'm not pro-fox hunting, just not particularly against it either.

[@Yaris510]

Sketchy Luke You're right that killing for food is natural - we all do it: even vegetarians (plants don't want to be eaten, either). HOWEVER, the pursuit by a pack of so-called 'fox' hounds of a smaller wild dog is something which would NEVER happen in the wild - note the behaviour of wild canids such as wolves, which specialise in hunting large herbivores such as elk, moose, bison and deer. Besides, killing for meat needn't be inhumane. In addition to the Budiansky, let me recommend Dr Temple Grandin's 'Thinking in Pictures'

The tragedy of the world (including the foxes) is that the stupid are cocksure, while the intelligent are full of doubt. - Bertrand Russel

[@TroutOffTheGrid]

Digging out a fox that went to ground is completely wrong. We do not practice that in our hunt and would ban anyone who did. I have, actually, never seen a kill. We see many fox, but have never had, or frankly, want a kill. This is cherry picking film footage of the worst violators. Mounted fox hunting is a social event and tradition that strives to protect open space, farmland preservation and health and safety for horse and rider. It also provides for a local economy of grain stores, vets, farriers, grooms and barn owners. What do the anties do for the community other than increase the policing cost?

[@berndhorsch8032]

Healthy for horse and rider? Most of You have not even the time for horseback riding. Most of You are forcing their horses by generating enormous pain into submission. You are fond of everything, which is causing pain to Your horses, but afraid of daily labour. Going for what You call riding 3 times a week for 1 or 2 hours cannot be called riding. In this way You will never get the skill for cross country events. You will not even get the skill to sit on a horse in a barn. The slaughter houses are full of unrideable horses in their best age, who have to pass to make the box free for the next candidate going to be abused.
