Im afraid you really believe that.

So what , it still does not mean the hunt purposely set the hounds on the scent of that fox.

So the hunt master sent his hounds into woodland, what has that got anything to do with the fox jumping into the small pack of dogs, he may have been sending them on the scent of the laid trail

And lets face it, the video may well have been edited to show what they want it to show,

You ask why no one called the hounds off the fox, well maybe because they had more sense than go amongst a pack of dogs attacking another animal

As I said , any hunt would be stupid to allow themselves being videoed breaking the law .

Yes i do Dawn, people can be apathetic but when they see distressing images it often shocks them into doing something about it...or at least trying to. Its no different from images we see on the news, if reporters & their cameramen didnt get footage of starving children or whatever, many people wouldnt act.



.

I thought they were suppose to be able to call the hounds off?

They don't call them off, they "whip" them off

Jeezus!...dont see how anyone who supports fox hunting can call themselves a dog lover

that's in extremis of course - like when hounds are come into our garden, and a land rover full of hunt servants come pouring in with hunting crops to round them up and get them back in the field. To be fair, hounds are not bothered, but I would personally rather see hounds whipping the hunt servants!

The purpose of the hunting crop with its long lash is to keep hounds away from galloping horses' hooves, but the Whipper In's job is to control hounds from horseback. With a full pack of hounds standing at between 20 and 30 couple, you can have up to 60 hounds to control, so you need to be robust.

That made me choke on my coffee.

Thats their choice. Constantly throwing things in peoples faces more often than not has the adverse effect. Proven too. People get sick of it. That may explain why all the "evidence" people collect is not acted upon, and of course as I said earlier, in this case, the law is a joke.

That is one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen - some people are despicable

How anyone can support such a 'sport' is beyond me

Times have moved on, we're no longer the barbaric cavemen that our ancestors were. Fox hunting is on the wrong side of history - just like so many other vile practises from our past, and that's exactly where it belongs.

There can be no justification of human beings 'killing for fun', life deserves more respect - and as an evolved and highly intelligent species we should know better.
