Again, agree 100%. Which is why they now do drag hunts with quad bikes. I don't agree wth it, I tolerate it, as is part of the deal down here, and as I live on a hunting estate with a working farm, I understand it more now.
During lambing season, if a Ewe is cast or can't move properly, an adult fox will try to eat it alive, literally start eating its hind quarters. The Ewe then gets crippling infections and has to be destroyed. Its lambs are then orphaned, and are put in the paddock next to our garden. I take the children out to help milk the orphan lambs. Then when the sun goes down the foxes come back and try to eat the orphans, alive.
^ this does not excuse fox hunting, but is an example of how it is down here.
Also what I found strange is that I can be an animal lover (am a big softie) but absolutely despise foxes. I hope this gives you some context next time you think fox hunting is for posh cunts.
