Imagine you were a fox. You were going about you normal, everyday life when you hear the roar of the hunting dogs and the galloping hooves of the horses. You can run but you can't hide! The dog soon catches up with you and you know that you are going to die. Except it is not a quick, painful death. In fact the complete opposite. You feel the pain of being ripped apart until eventually you die. This is what it's like for over 20,000 fox's and cubs every year.

They are slaughtered in traumatic and excruciating ways in which surely no animal deserves to be put through.
Fox hunting is just a sport and although the fox’s are pests they don’t deserve to dies in this way. Some people may believe that fox hunting is good and their opinion also counts but I can’t see the point in torturing innocent animals for fun.

What’s worse is that the farmers try to justify what they’re doing. Whilst slaughtering parents the hunters are sentencing the cubs to death with no one to look after them or feed them.

I think fox hunting is wrong; the fox population could be controlled in other, more humane ways. This is definitely something the government should carefully think about.
