Hiya,
I was just wondering if you could post your thoughts about banning the traditional horseback sport of Fox Hunting with Foxhounds. I will inform you that it is a enjoyable experiance and isn't inhumane. Its mainly about the galloping acroos open feilds throught the boggiest of mud's and then jumping the highest of hedges. Its about heaering the hounds howling and the huntsman's blowing of the trumpet thingy, (whats it called, hmm...) Ive been a few times and its great fun. Especcialy watching the fox's run. The fox's are pretty ugly creatures to be honest. Whats your oppinion? I am against the ban.. You?

Fox Hunting is banned apart from using two Hounds. Nobody actually cares about the new law they just carry on doing it. The foxes do get killed but the hunts do many trail hunts where they go around on a quad bike trailing a rabbit sent around so the fox's follow that. The hunt has some respect for Fox's though; in the summer they don't hunt because it is when the females have babies in there stumach and it would be cruel to hunt them during pregnancy.

I don't have a problem with ppl hunting at all. Sometimes you have to for survival. But I could not do it. The only meat I eat is turkey and chicken.
