I understand it is a sport for the hunters but I am totally against it. What harm does the Fox do to you apart from going into you're rubbish bags and creating a lot of mess?
What I don't understand is, why did the ban on Fox hunting introduce when we were still allowed to go Deer hunting? What is the difference between a Fox and a Deer?
For those who support Fox Hunting then you should support Tigers and any other Human eating creatures out on the loose so they can go Human hunting.

they shit everywhere and they know exactly what they're doing. why shit on top of a children's slide or on a toy car which had been left out accidentally in the garden overnight? a car that measured 3" x 2". how accurate must their a-holes be?
in summary, they're tossers.
Have you seen the price of a new one? Scandalous.
Sounds like an excuse for a jolly good bit of fun rather than defence of the countryside to me.
Keep the ban.
I'd destroy the lot of them purely through the disappointment of waking up on a snowy, winters morning, opening the curtains hoping to see a pure white carpet, and discovering the fox Olympics was played out during the night in your back garden.
I don't have a problem with culling foxes if they are are vermin . Just shoot the little fuckers.
Its the poncy way the aristocracy do it with the hounds , the blooding of the children , the symbolic masonic red jackets and the sheer pomposity of it all. I've met a few in my time since i moved out to country and every one looks down at you as if your a piece of shit.
Don't let these poeple tell you they are doing it because they wan't the fox population down . It's purely an archaic ceremony or ritual if you like and nothing else.
It's hardly a surprise that the Tories wan't to make it legal again .
Did anybody comment when a fox appeared at the top of a hill, in the first rays of a new morning sun, to salute the endless cycle of days and seasons? Perhaps, but did they watch as that same fox entered a chicken coop with the sort of movement and grace that we singularly lack, and embarrassed all of the farmer's chickens? Impressive one minute, deadly the next. We cannot afford to be complacent. There are serious failings in our mentality and foxes will always take advantage.
Instead of dealing with these foxes by hunting, shooting or laying down strychnine at den entrances, we sit back, look at each other's shrugging shoulders and trip over our own intentions as we lily-liver a smarmy peace - "you leave us alone, ok!" - would we have acted half so accommodatingly in the days of Ted Heath, of Gyles Brandreth? Of course not - swift, decisive - red brush nailed to the wall, game well and truly over.
It's almost sickening watching us try to deal with foxes nowadays. Why can't we go and just give them a bloody good going-over?
Is that what you want? ‘Cos that’s what’ll happen.
I dislike fox hounds killing the foxes by tearing them apart and leaving the carcasses behind.
Even more I detest the twats on the horses in their silly coloured coats.
So on balance kill the foxes with guns and leave the hounds in the kennels, as for the idiots on horses .............?
Cameron knows that many Tory MPs are opposed to the repeal of the ban on hunting with dogs. Committed to a 'free vote', he now seeks to gain support not for repeal but amendment, the result of which, if passed by Parliament, will make it much easier for his type to chase, maim and kill. The proposed 'Statutory Instrument' would amend a key clause of the Act, so as to allow a full pack of hounds to flush a fox to guns. Hunts could thereby carry on hunting and, by simply having a firearm on hand, could claim, if questioned, to be flushing to guns.
Regarding the shooting of foxes at present: Sadly, some who engage in hunting foxes feel cheated when the fox goes to ground in an earth, hole, drain, etc. A 'dig out' is a nasty business, whereby a terrier, or terriers, often with a radio transmitter fitted to its collar, is placed into the hole or drain. The dogs, bred to fight, attack the often exhausted fox. If the dog doesn't come out - as is often the case, as it doesn't give up fighting - and remains underground, the 'Terrier man' will dig down to where the dog is - located by radio signal - and drag the fox out. Rules state that the fox, if alive at this point, should be shot. Often, the poor thing is simply thrown to the hounds.

Urban foxes are a nuisance and I'd happily shoot them myself. Nobody is going to convince me the lifestyle of country folk has been destroyed by the ban. Only the enjoyment of horrible pieces of work on horseback with dogs that struggle to differentiate between a domestic cat and a fox. Not that that makes ripping foxes to shreds for amusement ok
