How do 'Hunts' justify killing foxes?
Having farmed sheep for many years I have never had any problems with foxes - and have often seen them passing through a grazing flock with no interest taken by either party and they do not attack lambs - not even new born field lambs (those where the farmer can't be bothered to provide properly supervised lambing sheds). They may sometimes kill back-garden chickens - but real chicken farmers look after their investment with properly fenced runs. In short foxes are not a problem - it's the hunting fraternity who are the real vermin, inflicting terror pain and suffering on an animal in the name of 'sport'. And when they can't find any wild foxes they raise cubs and release them to be hunted down and torn apart just to satisfy their vile and sickening pastime. If the law cannot stop these disgusting people then those who really cherish our countryside and its wldlife surely will.
Firstly, yes foxes do kill lambs. Secondly, its a matter of conservation. Anyone who denies that fox numbers need to be controlled has no idea of basic ecology, no natural predators or competition anymore, see? Thirdly, if you can come up with a better method that weeds out weak, older foxes while killing quickly and discriminately, i'll eat my many hats. Fourthly, its not the kill, its the sense of community the hunt engenders that is the real enjoyment, most people who follow hunts dont in fact ride and are also generally of working class, are farmers, blacksmiths etc, despite ridiculous stereotyping.
