JohnfromUK Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 What chance have fieldsports of getting public support (or even tolerance) when there are people like this who claim to be supporters of fieldsports? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7830051/Shocking-moment-Boxing-Day-hunt-supporters-smash-blood-soaked-dead-FOX-against-saboteurs-van-window.html I dislike the antis protesting but behaving like this can only harm fieldsports overall.

B725 Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 It does make you wonder why I bothered hobbling round London with a bad ankle in support of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 None at all? The few will as usual ruin everything for the majority? It would be nice however if it was an offence that was policed to stop the mob parading at will in balaclavas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washerboy Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 I've seen the worse case of animal cruilty after the hunting ban posted on Instagram and the like, young lads think it's big to take a long a camera phone when out hunting fox's. I said I wouldn't own another terrier after my old one died and I haven't, not sure I would own a lurcher either when my bitch dies. Too many idiots got into it after the ban to be macho men. They aren't countryside people, they don't believe in seasons, couldn't tell a magpie from a swallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXHUNTER1 Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 😄😄😄😄😂 they should stay at home knitting or hugging their trees then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retsdon Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Rude behavior begets rude behavior. That said, it wasn't a very intelligent thing to do. The whole strategy behind the hunt saboteur thing seems to be to provoke an overreaction that can then be used as a weapon in the propaganda war. Hitting a windscreen with a dead and bloody fox - wet dream stuff for the sabs. Oh well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger-Mouse Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 I don't have any sympathy for the sabs but it's clearly a very stupid action on the part of the hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know they won't do that ......... and hitting their car with a dead fox getting filmed doing so is not going to help the pro hunting case.

bluesj Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 We all know there are idiots every in all walks of life, they don't care about hunting shooting or fishing only what they can get out of it. There is no way that you could educate them they are always going to do stupid things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Read today about some idiotic stupid QC ...yes a QC, putting, actually bragging on the web that he had bludgeoned a fox to death with a baseball bat. Great help that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great help that. In fact I can understand him doing that (although he should have kept quiet about it of course) because it was (allegedly) caught in wire after trying to kill his hens. Not a fieldsports issue and to my mind does highlight how urban foxes are not all nice cuddly creatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurs 14 Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 You can also flip it round , what’s to say it wasn’t one of the antis who did this to get it filmed and put online wouldn’t put it past them or the thick aggro merchants that are around , just their cup of tea !

shooterman49 Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Has it been proven that this was done by a fields ports person? Or as has happened in the past a attempt by the sabs to gain support and dirty the name of hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panoma1 Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 I’d also like to know who he is? What are his allegiances? Once that is established, if it isn’t obvious? I would like to know why he did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see how your advocating violence accurately portrays anything but your own thuggish nature and definitely doesn’t represent me or the vast majority of country sports followers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
