A few years ago I had to switch off the television after the first 10
seconds of clubbing baby seals footage. I won't look at the pictures and

Where *do* people get the idea that foxhunters are upper class twits?..
it always seems to me that most people who are violently anti hunting
have absolutely *no* clue as to what hunting is and what it's for..

Hunting is a way of humanely killing foxes that are a problem to
livestock breeders.. when a farmer has a problem with a fox what he or
she used to be able to do was call in the local hunt.. this was
normally 3 or 4 people with a pack of hounds who would come in and find
and kill the fox that was causing the problem.. much like if you had an
infestation of rats and called in a rat-catcher, or called in a
molecatcher if your lawn was full of molehills..

which a fox is "accidentally" killed are on the increase. To say that
fox hunting has ceased completely is not, therefore, correct, although
to say that such practices are illegal is.

Good thing too. Making a dog fight a footballer is grossly unfair to
the footballer. Terribly unsporting.
