the foxhunt (69)

Yes. I would have a problem with killing any animal in a cruel and really painful manner for sport.

Rats spread disease and serious disease at that but you wouldnt kill a rat because they are lovely creatures, right?
I have poured boiling water on rats that were living in my back garden before and I would do it again, after all I had a 3 year old child playing out there

Where did I say I would not kill a rat? Where did I say Rats are lovely creatures? I said I have no problem killing vermin but you seemed to have missed that! I just have a problem with killing them in a cruel manner and killing them for sport. There are many humane ways the Fox Population can be controlled. Squirrals spread as much disease as Rats. Why not por boiling water on them too?

Ok if you dont like sport like this then fair enough, They are vermin that need to be exterminated, I have shot foxes and I have let them suffer because i believe they should suffer after all they are vermin, I wouldn`t shoot a rat thats a waste of a bullet and they are too small to be shooting, Grey squirrels are vermin so you can do what you like to them, just dont harm Red squirrels they have dwindling numbers in the wild and are a protected species mainly because the grey squirrel ousted then when they were introduced hundreds of years ago, Grey squirrels are a good fun to be shooting, They are very agile and you need to have a good shot, thats what makes them such good sport, I shoot wood pigeons too, They are vermin, nothing better than aiming my shotgun at a wood pigeon flying over head, pulling the trigger and BANG!!! all you see is a puff of feathers falling to earth along with a blood soaked pigeon corpse, ah its all for the sport

I see nothing wrong with that, We are hunters after all, What foxhunters do is nothing different to what a lion would do to a zebra

A lion kills a zebra for food, not for sport. Can you try imprint that into your brain???

I know somebody who killed a fox and ate it, skinned it and kept the coat
He said he roasted it in the oven, put soy sauce all over it and it turned brown, nicest meat he ever had

my folks live on a farm. fox kill there hens and ducks, if so hungry, they will go after cats. For many yrs, foxhunt was used on our land, past 30 yrs, but my dad stop it. few yrs ago! as they also ruin lands!
