"Complete spastics live on the news right now!"

Pro-Hunt campaigners. For a start, it's a barbaric sport, causing unneccessary suffering to cut ickle foxes. And now it turns out the people that support can only express their opinions through violence. The reporter trying to interview people with blood running down their faces has to compete with mongoloids running up to the camera shouting "It suuuuucks!!!" in their finest mongol tones. Complete dickwads, in my opinion - just waiting for the Police to set the alsations on them, see how they like it.

I once got hunted by some anti-hunters.

Stupid upper class tomfoolerry pip pip har har

Well, British history will tell you that if you protest enough, (i.e. resort to violence), something will have to change to suit them.

Of course, this protest is hardly a patch on the riots before, so I doubt it'll have an effect.

Anti-hunters can be hypocrites sometimes.

Wow, they're actually in the main chamber of the Houses of Commons! Excitement!!!

Might go watch it now

All that's wrong with Fox Hunting is that it's seen as barbaric by a lot of people. But it's really no different to duck hunting, game shooting or owning an abbatoir or slaughterhouse. What people don't realise is that it keeps numbers of foxes down, which is good because they are a pest. It's also a business and a tradition- not something you can just get rid of. People who just think it's cruel obviously need to look at the full picture.

I'm pro-hunting. Mainly because it will destroy many people's lively hoods, some only know how to live this way, and because all the hunting dogs, yes mostly all of them, will be put down. Also the hunt's horses will suffer too as there will be a flood of unwanted horses, solution: home a few, put down the rest. So these "spastics" want to save horses and dogs lives.. I'm sure they're sorry for caring.

It may be a barbaric way of dealing with a fox, but it's much better than a farmer who has a crooked shot shooting them and letting them wander off to their painful deaths. Admittedly the hunt's kill is painful, but it doesn't last as long as the shot from a farmer who doesn't give a damn whether the poor creature is going to die straight around or be in pain for a few days.

And to be honest labour are only forcing it through because they want our votes. Blair will probably kill us all anyway. Bring on Judgement day already.

It's a game hunting bill they're voting on today, so I guess they'll be targeting duck hunters too, which is fine. Pests and vermin can be controlled in other ways that aren't being ripped apart by dogs.

I think that the number of Foxes should be controlled through more ethical culling (if such a thing is possible). I cannot hold sway with any argument that hunting with dogs is the most humane way of ensuring that the Fox population does not threaten the stock, and in turn livelihood, of farmers and so on.

Surely it is possible to entice Foxes into a pre-baited area and shoot them with a rifle? Or perhaps use a dart gun to tranq them and then give them a lethal injection to finish them off?

Not very enticing options though; for posh wa*kers who love to dress up in stupid attire, ride about the country in "regal" fashion and then guffaw loudly whilst some dogs rip a fox to bits.
