>this is the most sensitive subject in British politics

>>78242766
They hunted wolves and pretty much everything else to extinction in Britain.

>>78242766
they didn't
the british nobles hunted foxes

They believe that by drinking blood of a freshly killed fox you gain it's perfidiousness.

that's my favourite animal

>>78242766
because once in a while they got bored of inbreeding

>>78242766
There's too many of them.
In 19th century France there was too many wolves so we killed them all. I hope brits wont do the same with foxes

Is this really an issue in britain?

I live in rural south aus and most of my neighbors shoot foxes on sight. They're cool animals sure, but they're also really bad for us farmers.

Them and Rabbits are a real fucking pain.

They continue to hunt poles too.

sometimes see baby foxes in university campus while running at nights, they are CUTE

>>78252256
It's more the fact that they're specifically hunted by the upper classes as a sport.

Why can't we hunt whales?

Foxes slaughter farm animals, they don't take one animal, they will kill a whole field of lambs, a whole coop of chickens and leave the bodies to rot, putting farmers massively out of pocket. Fox Hunting is a community event and not just for rich people, personally I'm apposed to hunting down foxes with horse and hound but I have no problem with people shooting them with shotgun or rifle.

they're too pussy to hunt real animals such as bears or wolves

>>78253291
Yeah, because we have so many bears and wolves running around.

>>78253340
you can't call yourself a man until you've killed a bear

>>78253291
The Euros killed all that shit off ages ago.

>>78242766
We don't. Hunting foxes is banned.

>>78253397
We'll be reintroducing wolves and probably lynx at some point. Wolves mainly up in Scotland to keep the huge number of red deers in check.

Whilst it's technically illegal to actively hunt foxes, there are loop holes, you can hunt artificial trails of fox sent and if the hounds catch a real fox you can't be blamed for example.

It happens so infrequent that there's really no point talking about it as foxes aren't exactly being killed in huge numbers or are in danger of becoming extinct.. Hedgehogs are the ones which currently need saving.

The argument was never about them being endangered. It was about the cruelty of chasing them down with hounds. 'Hunting' foxes with rifles and shotguns is perfectly legal

Also fox hunting is just as alive today as it ever was. The informal Autumn hunting season will start pretty soon.
