When these good doers tire of the countryside, saving all the foxes, you can meet them in town glueing themselves to the tarmac and obstructing traffic as Just Stop Oil activists. Aren’t they special.
Two different types of people... Anyway what's wrong with doing good? Ur parents thought u not only do bad things and only care about yourself? Aren't u special

Hunts actually help foxes ironically, often the Foxes would escape from the hunts. They will always have a chance to survive. It was a good way of simulating natural selection. foxes were never meant to be the main predator in Britain, but unfortunately we hunted the other predators to extinction meaning, bears, wolves and even boars would go for them. But since they were hunted to extinction, the fox numbers have grown exponentially, and even started overlapping into urban areas and by extension have done horrific damage to the ecosystem. And I’m not meaning pheasants, I’m meaning about actual endangered species of birds and even causing danger to the reintroduced beaver, and even household pets like small dogs, cats and that’s not including the hundred of lambs they kill every year and thousands of chickens needlessly. When they go into a chicken coop, they do not simply kill one and go away. They kill every single one in there and only take one away to eat it. The fox hunt was a perfect simulation of a wolf chase where wolves would hunt the fox off to kill it. 19 times out of 20. The Fox would always get away. Only the old and the sick would actually get caught. It also served as a deterrent for a fox going into a certain area as the hunt would often frighten them out. And caused them to be far more cautious around human areas, again causing them to be far more selective of their territory. All this needless death of foxes only happened when the fox hunt was actually removed. The Foxhunt would only kill about 250 foxes throughout Britain a year, but now without it, the fox numbers are blowing exponentially, we are now forced to kill thousands a year unnaturally instead by guns, poison and snares. (people actually called the hunt Cruel?) I don’t like the idea of killing animals, needlessly, or for pleasure. I was never a fan of gentlemen, hunting foxes purely because they like the idea of killing something, but from a naturalist Viewpoint I can actually see the benefits it caused in keeping numbers down in a far more natural way. People will say I’m cruel for saying this? When you live in the country and your animals are being killed by foxes needlessly, when your cats and dogs don’t come back at night, when you find that your 20 chickens have been killed by a single fox, or you walk along a field lane and see a lamb with its throat ripped out. you generally don’t have much sympathy for foxes. My grandfather used to hunt with the hounds. And I remember in my childhood, although there were foxes around, they generally were terrified of coming anywhere near human dwellings. It would be rare if a fox actually came near our livestock. But since the Fox hunt has been stopped, we have had no end of needless killing by the foxes. They are not a sweet little creature that run around like humans. They can be heartless killers. the foxhunt for the most part only frightens them out. It was rare if they ever actually would catch a fox.
@@wolftal1178 It is all part and parcel of the hunt (which by the way kill between 3.500 and 5.500 foxes annually) which has nothing to do with controlling foxes if it were they would not have introduced them to amongst others Australia so they could be hunted and are now a huge problem.This is a sport a leisure activity this is done for "fun".
A disgusting blood sport. That would have gone the way of badger baiting and dog fighting if the rich weren't involved.
That’s terrible poor foxs😮😢
How many farms do you own ..

@@driftless1870 Because of course people left to there own choices always make the best decisions.Why have any laws.
@@driftless1870you're NOT a hunter. You prance around on a horse with your bumchums wearing matching outfits.
Can't a furry barrister represent the foxes and vixens in the Hague?

Foxhunting is pure cruelty and should be complete baned

I ain’t reading all that
@@Hershey1000 it’s a long one, but it does prove my point
May I suggest you watch nine foxhounds killed in 40 minutes available on you tube to see the real face of fox hunting
@@kethughes8266 yeah, and I don’t condone that, but that still doesn’t disprove my point here.
