I thought I was having an adult debate

Dawn, that's because they like the cute, fluffy image that a fox gives. Wonder how quick they'd change their minds if they had one come in and destroy a shed of chickens?

Yep, youre right. See what they cannot understand is that most people who control Foxes also like them. I do, I wouldnt of spent £55 to photograph them at close hand if I didnt, I expect you like them too.

Many think we want them wiped out, WE DONT, nothing could be further from the truth, but they DO need controlling and thats what I will do as will others.

I totally agree Dawn. I do like foxes too, but not when they're taking peoples lively hoods away from them just for the sake of killing. Everything has to be controlled, one way or another and I'd rather see a fox taken by the hound than I would by the gun. It's quicker and cleaner.

Not getting into an argument but I think fox hunting is disgusting. I know of foxes that have been 'captured' and released simply for people's lust for 'blood'. Shocking, primimitive and downright cruel, imho.

Isn't that 'lust for blood' a primitive thing in all of us?

A few years ago i bought the kids 2 adult female rabbits, 2 weeks later they had babies Although none of it planned i enjoyed the experience, and the kids helped me with the baby rabbits we now had. When they where 4 weeks old a fox got them all and the mum and dad..... i walked up my garden to feed them with my daughter who was about 4 at the time. It looked like a scene from a horror film.

I rushed my daughter inside and burst into tears....

I still don't like the idea of fox hunting, i am no expert and have never witnessed it personnally, but the idea of a fox running for its life and then being torn apart whilst people watch is not something i understand people wanting to do.

I think its the idea of people wanting to do this that bothers me.

Don't ask me what the anwser is as i have no idea and i can also understand the devastation they cause to people and their business's.

'Like many another opponent of hunting, Ann Widdecombe is unimpressed by the arguments in its favour advanced by the Countryside Alliance and others. “It is a very inefficient form of pesticide, as studies have shown in recent years that only about 6% of fox destruction is accounted for by hunting. The idea that the countryside would suddenly be overrun by foxes without it is just nonsense. It’s a cruel and unnecessary practice.”'

Then she should of taken a visit to our field.

PLEASE come and visit us then and some of the surrounding areas if you think what you have said is correct. You dont seem to realise that Foxes are suffering far more than they ever did now, as I said come see some of the dreadful specimens here which are suffering terribly with poor management.
