Vince Green Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Most hunt sabs don't care about the foxes they just hate the people who can afford to hunt them. Its class war and a chance to behave in a way that would normally get them arrested but for some strange reason doesn't on hunt days.

Why should they be allowed to harrass and attack people carrying out a legal act.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesco obviously don't have the bottle to point out the facts regarding fox hunting legislation to its critics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Quite right too, appallingly insensitive shown by Tesco, and while we're at it, It's about time every pub called the "Fox and Hounds", "Hare and Hounds" changed their name to the Snowflake Arms or the #Metoo Inn. I trust Tesco will be compensating all these poor souls whose feelings have been hurt with a pint of sour milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Tescos are also selling a pirate costume. I do hope the kids who buy it don't turn to a life of pillaging, plundering and raping on the open seas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 The right time to make the local Police and Crime Commissioner publicly state his position and motivate the Police to act before a breech of the peace occurs? That I how I think it is supposed to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbits and rats are classed as vermin, hares are mythical creatures sorry i meant game, and not in the numbers that you get rats or rabbits.

So if a creature is arbitrarily classed as 'vermin', then its 'animal rights' are forfeit? It's all nonsense isn't it, solely dependent on whether kids have stuffed facsimiles of the species in question on their beds. Why are badgers so forcefully defended by people who don't know what they are? Wind in the Willows. Foxes? Bosil Brush, Fantastic Mr. Fox, etc ,etc. Otters? Tarka. Rabbits almost made it with Watership Down, but as you say, there are too many of them to become mythical. But given time as fewer and fewer people have any connection at all with rural life, all fauna will eventually be given cult status. Meanwhile, for the animal itself in the general scheme of things it makes little difference at all whether it's killed by a pack of hounds or lurcher, or dies of old age, starvation, or disease. There are no happy endings. Honestly, if were a fox I'd choose in order 1. A well aimed .223 round, 2, a snare, 3,a lurcher that knows its job, 4, a pack of hounds, 5, a natural death. Sorry - hit by a train or fast moving car should be in at no 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Just started watching Vikings, seems ok so far, bit of fighting and pillaging, no nasty men in red coats though thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
