  • Foxes aren't vermin. Foxes are taking advantage of an unnatural thing. The concentration of herbivorous animals (prey) by another animal for profit or gain. There's no point trying to sell it as "the fox is eating the poor little lambikins it must be hunted and controlled" when poor little lambikins is going to have its life lived solely to make profit or provide nutrition or materials for humans. It's especially galling when control measures for the vermin are equally grimmers. And the people doing it have history on their side as the "owners" of land and get to gad about on their fucking horses clarting up the land and basically reminding those around the "natural heirarchy" of the area. I.e. On a horse, fucking rich, ride where we want, tradition.

    Its not a London centric thing that people are disagreeing with you. I don't think it's "people on here don't like rich or posh people", people on here generally don't like people who they don't know but who appear to act like cunts. Killing an animal by using dogs and horses seems pretty cunty.

  • A+ would nod head in agreement again.

    I was unfortunate enough to be in Ross-on-Wye a while back as a bunch of wankers were leaving on a "hunt" or whatever they call it nowadays. People lining the street to fawn over a bunch of uppity muppets tooting horns and depositing horse shit everywhere. WTAF

  • What a load of bollocks. I am not advocating fox hunting. I don't like it, but I don't agree with Londoners dictating how people live their lives, which is essentially what you are doing here.

  • I've done voluntary practical conservation work on the outer west London urban fringe,
    on & off, for 30 years. This time of year, with birds nesting, we often do path & bridleway clearance. Never once has a horse owner come out to join us.

    Local woods have a perimeter bridlepath. It is over used by horse riders through the Winter, leaving it resembling an up to 10 metre wide recreation of the Somme.
