hmm instead of fox hunting then let’s round the blughters up, take them to a slaughterhouse and slit their throats.
That way we’re ALL happy. No hunting .. no foxes, just a nice easy kill. sorted.
The meat can be sold to Polish migrants/ Well it’s better than carp isn’t it? :wink:

I thought the Poles had acquired a taste for swans now… gone up in the world :wink:

As for the age old argument of eating chickens etc, if animals are protected properly with adequate fencing and night shelters and coops they dont get eaten.

Plenty of farms round here who know how to protect their livestock so much so it is barely a problem. You get the odd one lifted but hey ho thats nature.

PB, instead of hitmen would you prefer the local hunt tally ho-ing over your garden fence and through your property with no regards whatsoever for your land?

Keep your streets clean (we all have a responsibility for that) and there is nothing for them, they will go elsewhere.

Sadly you couldn’t get a hunt into my garden – but if I was a farmer wqith agricultural land I wouldn’t have any issues at all with the local hunt riding over my land.

They will kill (and sometimes eat) anything they can and my guess is that it is only when somebody’s baby or young child is killed by foxes will the general public wake up and DEMAND that something is doen about them.
