Personally I think killing ANY animal for 'fun' is barbaric and disgusting.

And that, I'm afraid, is simply inaccurate.
Redundant circus

The nearest acknowledgement she gets here is on pillar boxes, which say ER, not E II R.
Personally, I have no time for petty English warlords.

I would hate to come across you when you ARE being aggressive then Snorri
The way that you seamlessly switch your antagonism to the Queen (and previously the armed forces) rather puzzles me. What exactly is behind all this anger? Would you prefer a British Isles with absolutely no traditions, no glorious ceremonies that are the envy of the world?

Nope not on a different board at all, was commenting on your ability to switch from fox hunting to the Royal Family , and it seems a distaste of any thing English..

Seems Snorri, there is a lot of anger and distaste oozing of the screen fromm you towards any kind of English Tradition, be it hunting/ uniforms/the royal family
sad really!!

I am not saying what should or shouldn't be done to control foxes or if they should be controlled , I hate to see any animals suffer a painful death and this includes sheep. I am just making the point that a large fox population has to eat something and being opportunists they may take the easiest option.

The second was a ewe who would have still been suckling a lamb, I was amazed to see her teats had been eaten, maybe because of the rich milk they contained. When I rang the farmer to tell him about my finds he said there had been others.
