Yes that THING that just won't go away!
Post your view on it. But first heres mine:

Fox hunting is needed to keep fox levels down there is not argument about that but the way it is done is contraversial. The fox would be chased frieghtened half to death before the dogs ripped the other half of its life away this would be a reletivly painless death(Think about it... Dog bites neck, Fox's neck snaps, Fox dead.).

If you were to shoot them then another problem would arise: Would you hit a small, moving target. Even if you did would it be as painless. If you got it in the head then yes but you are more likely to hit it in the body. This then leaves the fox stuck in the rain and with a wound that is open to infection. This would be a much more painful death than the dogs.

If you were to put some poison down then that would have dreadful effects on all animals in the area. And think... would you like to eat a sheep if it had been in an area where they had put down poison. Didnt think so.

So i am actually on the fence as until a new way of keeping fox levels down is found then hunting is a fine solution.

Thanks for reading.

Not bad at all :-)

I'm against fox-hunting with dogs though - it seems perserve, in that the hunters seem to get way too much pleasure from seeing an animal ripped apart.

If I had to choose, I'd pick shooting. A good marksman should be able to kill an animal with one shot, and not leave it injured.

Why can't farmers just protect their chickens (and other livestock) better?

All three fox-killing methods are currently used anyway.
