There have been a few speakers’ corner reviews which I’ve contributed to where I’ve been a little unsure of my views before I started and this is one of them. If you asked me 10 years ago what I thought of foxhunting, I definitely wouldn’t have described it as a sport. I thought it was cruel, pointless and unpleasant. I would have ...  Read the complete review

Fox hunting has been a particularly hot topic over the last few months with the enforcement of a ban, however on speaking to many of my friends and relatives who are anti-hunting, it has become more than apparent that they do not know the true facts, or the true reality behind the sport they are so opposed too.

Fox-hunting is most often thought of as a British “sport”. I put quote marks around sport as I feel this is not a sport. This is a cruel and evil activity that certain individuals find pleasurable and enjoy to the extend that they regularly participate in fox-hunting days out or whole weekends. In days gone by the British took fox-hunting to other ...  Read the complete review

Today is the first day of the hunting season and despite the legislation of last year many hunts across the country will be gathering and setting off.

Have you ever stopped to realise that we are living in the 21st century now? Having advanced two whole millennia you’d have thought we’d have become more civilised as a human race. Well, let’s face it we have. We have classical music courtesy of Classic FM or Radio 3 if you prefer the more obscure stuff; we have classical literature like Bronte ...  Read the complete review

I have lived in the countryside and have seen what terrible suffering is caused by hunting with hounds. Packs of them terrorise the poor foxes for hours on end. The fox is afraid to stop running and will continue until its heart gives out, then the hounds simply tear it apart. This is a disgusting pastime and hardly worthy of ...  Read the complete review

I accept that alternatives to fox hunting to cull foxes can be as awful a death as is the whole foxhunting experience. If not carried out properly. Fox hunters, rightly so, point out that traps cause extreme pain and it has been noted that foxes will bite away at their legs till they come off to try to get out of them. Foxes that get shot but are ...  Read the complete review

When all available methods of fox population control are considered, the balance of available welfare evidence is clearly on the side of hunting in that it is the closest man can devise to natural predation short of reintroducing the wolf into these islands. It manages without exterminating. Like natural selection and unlike any other method of ...  Read the complete review

The future of hunting with dogs has been a hot potato since Labour promised to ban hunting when it swept to power five years ago.
