Advantages: Pest control

Disadvantages: sometimes not nice to see

Is it a sport, mmmm perhaps not but but i can see why some people may think so. However i believe that it should be used for pest control, not for enjoyment!

'Does the sound of a bugle and a pack of hounds fill your veins with joy and adrenaline or anger and hatred?' - a little biased dont you think there on the description.

Fox hunting started in the 16th century in the united kingdom, but is now all over the world. It involves a chase, tracking, and sometimes killing of a fox by fox hounds. It was band in 2004.

I for one am for fox hunting, always have always been, reasons:

I am a fan of tradition, and thats what exactly fox hunting is!! How long has this country been doing this for?? A very long time! Why suddenly stop something like that? because its cruel? No because a fox is cute!

I have been bought up around hunting, not exactly fox hunting, but others when you go with birds of prey. Have you ever been fox hunting? I think some people are jugding a book by its cover.

Its controlling the population of foxes..yes foxes are vermin! I believe some people forget that they are still that not just cute. They also kill a farmers life stock, chickens and such, and are even known for killing just for the sake of killing.

Why just try and band fox hunting? What about ratting where the dog kills a rat...oh because rats vermin? rat kills and eats stock and plants? What about fishing? any kind of other hunting...not tried to be band yet, but fox hunting?

They have made fox hunting turn to the wrong thing, catching them in traps? Shooting them? Can you not see that this is worse? With the traps..there'l get caught and maybe not seen for days, instead laying there waiting to die! Shooting them..what if they miss there target and they are left injured? Hurt again for days if they escape, leading a slow death. Where as with dogs, it is over in a matter of seconds!

I can understand why people think so what about the dogs, they can be breeded out of hunting yes, but if they can kill the dog in seconds rather than a bullet. When you watch fox hunting on the tv yes sometimes it does look inhumane (im not that good at spelling) but go, and you'l see what its truely like, its not like that at all!

Dont get me wrong, i love foxes, any kind of animal for that matter, more than the next person, but i still believe that fox hungting should not be banned!! Also dont judge me because im for it, thats just ridikulous, im just merely stating my opinion!

Summary: Im for it. end of
