I think it's significant that cockfighting, dog fighting and hare coursing used to be carried out by the working class and was made illegal .. yet it`s perfectly fine for the upper class to crash through people`s back gardens on horseback so that their dogs can seek out and hunt down an innocent fox to rip to pieces. :evil:

Still goes on though doesn't it.It would be interesting to know how many toffs have been prosecuted,not that a fine of any ammount would inconvenience them.

I do respect your concerns, jamesB, and appreciate you take the time to back up your statements with research...

I have read about the "alleged" illegal killings highlighted by the various campaign groups, but I also looked in vain for successful prosecutions...call me a sceptic, but I tend to go on hard evidence..

...Did you know that allegedly, there is a paedophile ring with connection extending to Number 10 itself?...Tom Watson, Labour Deputy Leader said so.....

...Are you aware that allegedly the Tories want to sell the NHS to Trump America?...Corbyn has the evidence...

...It is alleged that the Tories killed the Coal mining industry, whereas Labour closed more pits than the Tories ever did...

...I have been led to believe that foxes are not vermin that kill for the sake of it, but are clever, cuddly, dog-like creatures...so I have ordered one as a pet for my year old granddaughter.......NOT!!!!' :lol: :lol:

Voluble and committed groups sometimes will bend the truth to suit their campaigns...

The fox population is at an all time high...those Hunters are useless!! ...and compared to bullfighters..cowards...

....When was the last time a fox killed a Hunter????
