Foxhunting - is this sport? ... hatred? One of the most contentious subjects out there. Leave you opinions here.

Newest Review: ... kill for the fun of it" People have heard cases where foxes have killed chickens, just leaving their bodies. So therefore they presume it 'was for fun'. The fact is if a fox gets into a chicken pen (a rarity in itself) and tries to cath a chicken, the chickens will start to make noise and flap around, this scares the fox and it will kill in a panic and get out as fast as it can. And yes ... more

 ... I like chickens too and feel sorry for them but i'm pretty sure humans kill thousands more chickens a day for their own consumption and we don't need to eat chickens! Foxes are very timid animals, neither sly nor cunning as some people will belie...more

"Fox hunting is needed to control the population of foxes" The fox population of the UK is stable at ...

It is my opinion that fox hunting is immoral. It is my opinion that humans should not have the right to kill animals for sport. My opinion isn't worth anything more than anyone elses opinion but the two things I listed above are what I consider to be facts. There is a ...

One of New Labors most pathetic moments, amongst many, over the last eleven years was the majority vote to ban foxhunting with hounds, yet at the same time voting for the invasion of Iraq and so the death of thousands of innocent people, including children. Protecting the fox on some sort of childish class war line seemed more important to them than little babies in Baghdad. Rather ironically, foxes suffered the most casualties on the first few night of bombing as they and the rats had the run of Baghdad and the only living things brave enough to be in town as the Cruise Missiles rained in. Why weren't those same MPs concerned at least about Iraqi Desert foxes being ...
