Just seen a video on Facebook. A women was wrestling with dogs to save a fox, heartbreaking it was.

When are these Psychopaths going to stop. Feel like attending a fox hunt with a gang of lads and chasing the fox hunters allover the place see how they like it.

It's the thrill of the chase after all.

Bastards !

Totally agree op

You have to be a bit warped to enjoy watching an animal get torn apart and call that fun.

The law needs tightening up in this area.

I don't see the problem with hunting foxes with dogs and i never understood why it was banned. It's the most ecologically sound method of control.

Law does nothing about it.

Saw a thing the other day something like

"if a gang of teenagers on bikes were chasing a fox with staffies the police would be all over it"

Sick blood sport.

Look am not for it but if you wish to hunt you should able to do and how you wish .

Number will always need controlled as leaving the population unchecked only create more suffering for a large number of animals without apex predator controlling numbers.

The price of freedom..

But it's not. A lot of these hunts actually help breed foxes for the sole purpose of a hunt. They use fox cubs to train the hounds. They are not helping anything.

Fox hunting is illegal.

Hunts that flout the law should be prosecuted.

I have worked within hunting, in the past, so I can safely say I know a fair bit about the illegal practises that hunts use to break the law.

I firmly disagree with it now btw.

The next safest method of controlling foxes is to shoot them, and a large percentage of foxes caught by hunts have previously been shot.

Most healthy foxes would outrun a hunt.

I saw plenty of coverage of the fox hound killed on the road over Xmas.

No mention that it had been lured there by hunt sabs......

If we need a cull then shoot them. I don’t think it’s needed to rampage through the countryside and watch an animal suffer at the end of it in the name of sport. The riders have fun but that’s about it. It’s cruel.

Fox hunting is illegal and anyone caught doing so should be prosecuted.

But don't assume those out hunting aren't drag hunting, which is perfectly legal and involves no foxes.

It amazes me that so many people have no idea what happens. I know people who've been assaulted, dragged from horses and driven at with their children - all by balaclava wearing thugs who see it as much as a 'class' war as anything to do with animal rights.

To those living in cities - foxes are often portrayed by the media as harmless. Have you seen the damage they can do to lambs, chickens and other wildlife? Not to mention domestic cats.

Not everyone sat on a horse is a bloodthirsty toff out to kill.

Drag hunting comes with the same set of issues but without a live fox. They still rampage all over the place with a pack mentality with little regard for others in the area.

However, they don’t kill a live fox inhumanly so that’s a bonus.

I don't hunt but I know people who do.

It's done on private land with permission so not sure where 'rampaging' comes into it.

Sabs on the other hand trespass where they choose and seem so committed to their cause they need to hide their faces.

A woman who was convicted of assault of a sab last year when she struck him with a whip as he tried to violently drag her from her horse died after falling from her horse this year. Sabs celebrated her death on social media and sent sick messages to her family.

For every video showing abhorrent behaviour by hunters I can guarantee there's just as much shocking footage of violence by masked thugs.

I don’t doubt that. I don’t have FBook so I haven’t seen anything. Violence is not something I can stomach anyway. There has always been violence associated with fox hunting that won’t ever change. Violence is never acceptable.

I beg to differ actually that the majority of sabs don’t trespass and take their cause seriously. Being very aware of what they are legally allowed to do and what they are not legally allowed to do. Where the legal rights of way are for them to pass through to safely block off the hunt. Balaclavas are worn to protect their identity from the thugs who ride their horses at them, crack their whips at them and the terrier men who drive their quad bikes at them.

Sabs are often on hand to rescue hounds that are left injured by the hunt who occasionally will lose control of them.

This is nothing to do with class.

What about the three hunt supporters who knocked seven bells out of a middle aged guy who was legitimately monitoring their hunt ... slapped on the wrist by the hunt supporting judge and given a fine... they might have lost their jobs,if given a custodial sentence ...ffs... if three blokes in the street had done such a vicious assault , they'd have been banged up quicker than a toot on the huntsmans horn !

Beg all you like.

How does a balaclava stop someone being hit or ridden at?

It doesn't. If their behaviour is within the law and they are doing no wrong why the need to hide their identity?

When was the last time you saw anyone hunting in a balaclava?

The simple fact is that it prevents them being identified when video evidence shows wrongdoing. Which if you look online happens an awful lot. As for helping hounds can you explain why sabs lure hounds across roads with horns if they're so concerned for animal wellbeing?

Seeing as in a lot of cases we have encroached onto their habitat by building on green belt land and the countryside thus forcing them to adapt. Yes they may well do damage to wildlife, lambs and chickens (disagree about cats only read the other day an article about this and pretty much disproved this) but how can you justify chasing them and ripping them apart? Yes there are better ways of controlling them but like a lot of things this needs to be done correctly as the eco system will become unbalanced elsewhere.

Always a combative subject on Fab.

Humane controlling is the answer hunting with dogs is cruel.

Then the Sabs can move onto stopping the very overt cruelty in specialist abattoirs?

Cock fighting

Dog fighting

The horses left in horrendous conditions and trap racing up and down roads

Hare coursing

But we know they won’t touch that.

Fox hunting is actually banned in this country x yes it is still card fox hunting but it is done by Cent , which Hounds follow , I myself I've done both kind of hunting , it's a very old tradition which goes back years, it keeps the horses fit it keeps the hounds in work and it also helps to keep healthy foxes in the countryside , a pack of Hounds will never catch a healthy fit fox, 99% of the time it's only the week , injured foxes that are caught , but as it is now been banned this does not happen now farmers use shotguns to shoot the foxes sometimes they shoot him outright sometimes they may not which then leads to a poor Fox having to die a slow painful death

Sabs don’t lure hounds across roads with horns, that’s not their purpose. Their purpose is to protect wildlife.

And as I’ve already explained, staying within the confines of the law is also part of their remit. Otherwise they’re prevented from doing the job they set out to do. The task is difficult enough as it is without giving reason to be caught up in battles that are unnecessary. Most sabs wear head and body cams for their own protection these days too as well as for evidence purposes. There is more than enough footage to counteract your argument.

How is a balaclava going to protect against a quad bike?

It doesn’t, and you’d know that if you’d been driven at.

But it at least protects your identity from thugs who all seem to be in each other’s pockets"

Fox hunting is illegal and anyone caught doing so should be prosecuted.

But don't assume those out hunting aren't drag hunting, which is perfectly legal and involves no foxes.

To those living in cities - foxes are often portrayed by the media as harmless. Have you seen the damage they can do to lambs, chickens and other wildlife? Not to mention domestic cats.

Not everyone sat on a horse is a bloodthirsty toff out to kill.

Drag hunting comes with the same set of issues but without a live fox. They still rampage all over the place with a pack mentality with little regard for others in the area.

However, they don’t kill a live fox inhumanly so that’s a bonus.

I don't hunt but I know people who do.

It's done on private land with permission so not sure where 'rampaging' comes into it.

Sabs on the other hand trespass where they choose and seem so committed to their cause they need to hide their faces.

For every video showing abhorrent behaviour by hunters I can guarantee there's just as much shocking footage of violence by masked thugs.

Sabs are often on hand to rescue hounds that are left injured by the hunt who occasionally will lose control of them.

This is nothing to do with class.

Beg all you like.

My turn to beg to differ then.

I've seen plenty of footage of assaults, criminal damage, threatening behaviour and masked sabs stood by main roads blowing horns.

Because those hunting wear cameras too.

It’s got nothing to do with the law. Its the people within the hunt and their thugs, who quite frankly aren’t very nice people.

But I know and encounter people who do on a regular basis. I've seen footage provided by both hunters and sabs. And I know both sides are guilty of editing said footage to present what They want the viewer to see.

If you believe that sabs are innocent parties and purely acting out of motivation for animal welfare then you're delusional.

So you can hand on heart say no sab has ever broken the law, been convincted of an offence, behaved in a violent or threatening manner, trespassed, caused criminal damage or caused the death of a hound?

If you were being completely honest, it’s humans who hunt animals that need culling.

Obviously I don’t condone this, but prison for a year might be the answer. It’s a tradition which extends to the royals as well.

There is no excuse for fox hunting with dogs, if there is a fox problem go out shoot them BOOOM!! Dead.. over nice and quick, to make a terrified animal to run for its life for miles til its too exhausted to run anymore then its torn to shreds by dogs is a bloody disgrace.

If someone let their dogs chase a cat and kill it there would be outrage, why is it ok for a fox?

The fact that people enjoy it is sick...

If you understand how the natural world works you'll see my point. Unfortunately i don't have time to go into it now."

So in the 'natural world' as you put it, it's all part of nature to chase smaller animals on horseback with packs of dogs to rip them apart is it? I think sir David Attenborough may have missed this somewhere along the line in his nature documentaries then. Perhaps you should enlighten him?

For those that don't know or understand the difference between fox hunting (illegal) and drag hunting (legal) here's a useful link.

If you can't be arsed to read it foxes aren't hunted in drag hunts.

No I can’t and I don’t believe I have said that anywhere.

What I have said is that sabs are aware of the laws involved around the illegalities of fox hunting, trespassing and public rights of way. They need to make sure to operate within the law at all times. Being violent, operating outside of the law doesn’t help their cause. That’s not to say it doesn’t or hasn’t happened. I cannot and am not responsible for everyone.

"I applaud saboteurs really. If people are still mindlessly torturing animals despite it being a criminal offense what other option is there? These people need to be fucking punished. Utter cunts."

Really?? Saboteurs are themselves very likely to commit crimes in their pursuit of defending foxes!

EG. I once worked at a country house Hotel location. The local Hunt met as they did as a Social meet, not for hunting purposes.

But saboteurs arrived en-masse into the village. Their mood was anything but polite and to get their way around, they rampaged their way through private houses gardens; some even scaled fences around the hotel's grounds but when asked to leave, we got a volley of abuse, threats of violence and so on. One of our security team was assaulted.

Some got arrested in the area for Breach of the Peace and other charges including the assault as mentioned.

Yes, the local Hunt had some of their members behave totally negativemy, all as regrettable as what the Saboteurs did.

But as in any fight, it takes 2 sides to create the problem and cause a fight. Saboteurs aren't innocent. Their supporters are just as bad.

So we can agree that there are bad elements to both sides.

Out of interest why do sabs protest at drag hunts where no foxes are being hunted?

I know plenty of people who would never hunt foxes yet enjoy drag hunting. There is a difference. Yet each time they attend a meet they are confronted by verbally abusive protesters, many from LACS.

I saw that video too and it was heartbreaking. I live in the countryside and I’ve kept chickens that have been eaten by Mr Fox but I don’t agree with fox hunting at all. Chasing an animal for fun so it can be ripped apart isn’t sport. We have stag hunting here too and they are an arrogant bunch of c**ts!

They think it’s ok to ride on your land and hunt without asking permission.

I can’t make any comment about what happens in your area, I’ve never been. But certainly the areas I do know it’s mainly trails as opposed to drags that are targeted. Drag hunts will have a runner that is chased. A trail hunt is often a cover for a real hunt and that is why they are targeted.

I don’t know if LACS has a particular stance on that, it’s not an organisation I’m part of so couldn’t comment.

Go along to one of the drags yourself rather than getting your information always from someone else, find out personally what happens.

Drag hunting is not the same!! A scent trail is laid over land where permission had been given to go or over land where horses are allowed. Hounds hunt the trail and the riders follow. They certainly do not rampage over the country side.

Oh, I meant to say when the Conservatives successfully duped the public of getting rid of the Liberal Democrats in 2015, the first thing they did was repeal the fox hunting ban.

We should hunt David Cameron and have him chased by a gang of hoodies, all while he's going on about "extremism".

Erm things that are shot die in pain too, also the fox more often than not is grabbed by the neck or spine and shook by the first hound that hits it.

Then thrown back and torn apart, so it’s usually dead anyway when the others get too it. So I’m led to beleive.

Plus have you seen how big fox hounds are? It’s a mix of greyhound fox terrier and bulldog

There was a fox outside my place the other night. I tossed it a couple of slices of pizza. I just wanted to give it a treat and in this case don't care if I broke the law!!"

1) people who hunt are a mixed bag just like those who appose it.

2) wealth has nothing to do with it as those who choose to spend money on their horses and subscription probably don't spend alot on holidays or anything else.

3) vegans do hunt diet has nothing to do with it.

5) it does not appeal to everyone however making out its a class war is just stupid.

Everyone has an opinion we just have to be open minded and try to make educated decisions based on fact.

So if no fox hunting with dogs, is ratting with terriers cruel? How about coursing hares? Rabbiting with dogs? Ferreting? Falconry?

Each of the above sports uses an animal that is basically weaponised to hunt a specific class of game or a particular animal as efficiently as nature intends.

A plumber terrier will kill rats much faster and effectively than some muppet with an air rifle.

True. A friend of mine is a Fox Control Officer in a town. In a single jight, in one parish he cage trapped 27 foxes.

Do you know how or where they are released or are they out down ? "

Once they are trapped they are destroyed, usually by shooting. No point in passing the problem on.

If any animal needs to be culled due to over population, damage to livestock, crops etc.

It should be done cleanly & humanely by a expert marksman.

One shot one kill.

Not chased till it drops & the ripped apart by dogs owned by rich inbred twats who think they are better than the working man.

From an interview with Miles Cooper. A former hunt sab who's now a hunt master.

"Further, LACS state clearly that shooting is always better than hunting. There’s no evidence to support this view at all but that doesn’t seem to put the LACS off one tiny jot. There is only one piece of peer-reviewed and published research that I am aware of in the UK. It was original research entitled “Wounding rates in shooting foxes” led by Dr Nick Fox in 2003 and it indicates that wounding rates could well be very much higher than previously anticipated. I worked on the project as a researcher to Dr Fox and contributed to establishing the initial field trials, protocols and recording of the data sets. Crucially, having been peer-reviewed and published in the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare journal “Animal Welfare” in 2005 it has been judged to have scientific or evidential merit and is replicable. This means that if the LACS really wanted to engage in a serious scientific debate they could easily fund for the study to be replicated in order to verify or counter the data legitimately. Of course LACS has no interest in this. I suspect because there’s far too high a risk that the results would demonstrate that when foxes are shot, they are not all killed as cleanly as is portrayed by the LACS and that wounding followed by starvation is an inevitably."

So no. Shooting is not more humane.

No it isn't.

Ratting with terriers is perfectly legal. I'm pretty sure rabbiting with lurchers is too. Ferrets can kill and lie up with a rabbit. When they flush, they can do so into nets or to dogs.

I'm against fox hunting because its just sport hunting and not population control, if it ever was population control those days are long long gone.

I do however see nothing wrong with using dogs to hunt, and dogs killing another animal that is either a pest or will be used for food.

I also think using dogs to hunt foxes would be a good way to control fox population, but it would need to be done better.

I am completely against hunting with dogs as a celebratory sport and wiping blood on kids cheeks. But not against humane vermin and pest control. People that can't see the difference on either side have an issue. As always it's the rabid for and antis that are the problem and the issue.

David Bellamy turned pro hunting with hounds after he spent time researching it. Also there are no red coats on the hunting field and "blooding in" does not exist. Hunts now have to work within the law. It's a class war as hunting people wrongly are deemed as rich and privileged. The countryside has serious issue with people who were born in rural areas unable to afford to buy a home and rents are crazy. The countryside is a huge food factory and without meat,cereal and vegetables being produced we will need to import more and Brexit will push food costs up. Hunts do help with social supply and rural jobs. They help support feed murchants, vets, farriers and local pubs.

The master of the hunt and his hunt servants still dress in red and do take part in the hunt.

Of course there can be no blooding in if there are only drag and trail hunts

"I don't see the problem with hunting foxes with dogs and i never understood why it was banned. It's the most ecologically sound method of control.

There's humane methods though mate

Fox hunting is just sick

If you understand how the natural world works you'll see my point. Unfortunately i don't have time to go into it now.

No red on hunts and no bloodung in.

You mean now when that's illegal or ever, the latter I have seen and was appalled by first hand, one of the, sickest things I have ever seen. Any arguments about supporting the local community are utter tosh to justify the vile sport.

"If any animal needs to be culled due to over population, damage to livestock, crops etc.

It should be done cleanly & humanely by a expert marksman.

One shot one kill.

Not chased till it drops & the ripped apart by dogs owned by rich inbred twats who think they are better than the working man. "

There is no legally required test of marksmanship for anyone who wants to shoot live quarry. I have seen a fox shot at 50m with a .223 rifle. It broke the foxes back but didn't kill it. The fox was dispatched by the shooter cruelly stamping on it's neck. He no longer has a firearm certificate.

Hunting pink I think you will find is the colour and not all hunts wear this colour it's easier to count buttons to denote the people in charge. See there is alot more too it than just a pack of hounds and people on horse back.

"Law does nothing about it.

Saw a thing the other day something like

"if a gang of teenagers on bikes were chasing a fox with staffies the police would be all over it"

Sick blood sport. "

Good point.

It’s still scarlet. And yes I do know that some hunts wear other colours; green, mustard or whatever and I do know to count the buttons, how pathetic like working in mcDonalds and earning your stars. I just. Ever knew there was a Mcfox sandwich

Hunting with dogs is still legal in Scotland.

The fox has to be despatched by a humane method though.

When you eat meat do you ever wonder where and how the animal is killed?

Have you considered how meat is produced cheaply?

Halal meat how is the animal killed? You will 100% eaten halal meat...

It's all relevant and before people who are not involved in farming and rural management start kicking off and calling people who ride to hounds toffs and people who shoot wealthy try engaging with them.

Comments that use name calling and stereotypes just proves most are against what they believe to be a wealthy persons past time.

Some of us do more for the environment than most and care passionately about the eco system in our amazing countryside and also hunt. Many species are on the rise because of the help of landowners such as birds of prey down to voles along with otters.

So don't make wild assumptions just because someone wears a smart hunt coat and rides a horse to hounds try to get under the skin of the people and why they love to spend time outside in the countryside.

I'm not a fan at all.

I think all methods of pest control need doing by professionals, not cunts on horses.
