Do they, how do you know that is what 'most of them think'?

Simply because once they put a fox out how many do you see stop. 

NON. 

Then it becomes no different to hare coursing. 

ILLEGAL.

This does rather seem to have gone down a three way split now.

There's no three way split the law is the law in any activity.

Oh I quite agree about the law.

But, I meant that in this thread we have "Fox Hunting" - "Halal Slaughter" - "Mountain Bikers"

I am not in favour of fox hunting, but it was a British tradition, which has gone. Why do the antis never target halal slaughter?

I know it's a rhetorical question, but you raise a very good point.

They've not helped there situation crashing across farms they have no permission on and openly chasing and killing foxes. 

Most of them think they can do what they like as they've always done.

Yes wandered of topic as they do. 

Getting back to your original post. 

The wildlife crime team spent most of a night chasing 4x4 trucks who were driving round wheat fields trying to catch there dogs which escaped whilst out for a walk at 1am.

The following week the hunt were out and the dogs went on to private land closely followed by riders. 

When i asked the local sergeant what was the difference he couldn't answer.

There’s the ‘they’ word again, bit of a broad brush that implying all foxes put out are followed by all hounds regardless throughout the land.

Well nobody else puts them out whilst THEY draw the coverts in front. 

THEY definitely don't follow the scented rag.

A broad brush which is broadly deserved. Hence the need to change the law to close the loop holes.

I think your way of thinking is only shared by a very small minority not the big majority when we all invaded London to show our support , like I said in a previous rely , if a march was organised nowadays then they would not get my support as I can no longer see it justified in this modern age , we know it have gone forever , after seeing it on the news about a pack of hounds cornering and killing a Fox in a member of the public garden don't help them to ever see it return .     MM
