Hunt ban not meant to save foxes' lives
I originally posted the following little piece in December 2006 after seeing a letter published in The Independent. It is with great pleasure that I repost it today, if for no other reason than the quality of the commenters that it still seems to attract....

Sir: James Barrington (letter, 29 November) is wrong when he says that the Hunting Act was passed to supposedly save animals' lives. As one of those who voted for the Act, I made it clear beforehand in many discussions with the pro-hunting lobby that I expected farmers to shoot more foxes (an acknowledged agricultural pest) after the Act was passed. By that time they would no longer need to keep the number of foxes up to ensure that there were enough to hunt.
It was not the number killed, but the method of killing, to which supporters of the Bill objected. Claims that the Act is failing are therefore wide of the mark. If we described every Act which was ever disobeyed a failure, no Act would ever be anything else. And the number of times that this Act is deliberately disobeyed will doubtless fall even further as more successful prosecutions take place.
Meanwhile more people than ever ride out with the hounds (good), many of them people who refused to go hunting while it still contained its cruel element. People can still enjoy the spectacle of the hunt (good). Because the hunts continue, job losses have been few if any (good), and point-to-point racing and therefore National Hunt racing have hardly been affected (good). There has been no mass extermination of hounds (good). In other words none of the dreadful consequences of the Act with which the hunting lobby threatened us has come about, but what seemed an unacceptably cruel method of controlling fox numbers has been reduced and can be expected to reduce still further in future. Excellent!

As a townie with no real knowlege of fox hunting (rather like most antis and MPs) I had to research the facts, then I became pro fox hunting, sure it is a little creul but that is the nature of nature! it also moves the fox population about and ensures survival of the fittest, almost as if man had not eradicated all the foxes natural predators. I am all for bringing back the wolf and big cats (leave the wild boars they is ugly, and I watched Lost) they might do us the service of eating a few right to roams and ramblers!!

Wild boars and other feral piggies not only provide good sport, but are delicious.

How can you say that hunting is a good thing. It is wrong and barbaric. How would you like the fox to nearlly kill you and then throw you into a pit of ravenous dogs only to become their next meal.
Posted by: Marry Snippit | January 17, 2008 5:40 PM
Its not right seeing dead foxes or any other animal for that matter. there is no such thing as to many types of animal. and when you see a dead fox it makes it even more wrong. look at all the people in the world, if we said theres to many people then we would have to kill them just like a animal. and there are more humans then there are any type of animal in the world. if people have a problem with a animal you catch it and release it some were else were it wont be able to bother you, but dont kill it.

Sick bast-rds, I defiantly want fox hunting and anything that harms them band...It's not right!

How could any humam use any type of weapon, or even their bare hands for that matter to harm such a flawless creature? A fox is not only the cutest thing ever, but it does not harm us in any way, so why should other humans have the nerve to kill them for a god damn sport!? That's outrageous!!!
Posted by: Alina White | May 15, 2008 4:17 PM
The nature of nature eh? Guns arent natural. Foxes are. Humans are cruel, and the ones hunting foxes will get thier karma back in time. Sucks to be you people. I know most people that hunt for sport are christian fundies. Its painful and frustratiog not to be able to do anything about this, but mark my words, these animal hunters hacked someone off, and they will see the long arm of the law strangle them!

Posted by: Jane | June 29, 2008 3:02 PM
no one likes hunters, their outdated and frusterated that they don't have a reason to kill. Guess what, they'll always get away with it, because there is no god and no one cares about foxes enough to stop it.

i shoot foxes because they are bankkrupting my friends parents by steeling their rabbits. mostly the babys becaus ethey can't fight. ive shot three so far because it's the most satisfying thing to do when you've just caught it coming out of the rabbit hutch. their not cute, they smell, theyre dirty and animal lives these days are considered over humans and are way too over rated. i agree its nature, all of their natural predators have died out so they need controling. and dont say now that all of humans natural predators have died out because they havn't, we just are better at keeping away from them now.

go for it mate try and strangle me! lets see how far you get. you wudn't be so set in your ways if your whole lively hood depended on livestock would you. i sugest you wake up and pull your fingerout because things are gonna get a whole lot worse.

go for it mate!!!!! their not cute u dumbass they stink! and they kill for fun to so dont bother saying hunting isn't natural.
Posted by: jack | September 22, 2008 2:40 PM
foxes are vermin, they kill for fun and cause families to go bankrupt. ive know people who have had foxes go in and kill all their chickens and not take a single one. so your telling us foxes are cute? tell me their cute when they go and kill your pet. if we didnt hunt then massive culls would have to go ahead just to keep numbers under control and hounds and possibly horses would have to be destroyed. ive been hunting my whloe life and im only 14, you get a massive thrill just for going to the meet! HUNTING RULES!
Posted by: beth | October 8, 2008 8:27 PM
all these freasks are bambi syndromed up to the max like all the foxes go out and talk to each other and have lil familys if they knew the facts they'd know that foxes were horrible disgusting animals, carrying all sorts of dieseases and bactirea , their eradication is a serious matter and they need controlling to stop them killing our livestock etc. Humans are the dominant race so why should be not kill them ... maybe if they evolved to become more efficent then they wouldnt get killed but until then they will be hunted and killed im all for foxhunting and blasting them with a shotgun or rifle infact , slip the lurcher on them or send the terriers down their holes to rattle them about , poision them too ! :D all u antis have no clue :D
Posted by: michael atchison | October 21, 2008 2:02 PM
You people are really sick, sick,sick and sorry type people. Foxes are incredibly cool animals. But even if they were not (whose to judge) there lives are just as important as any living being on the planet. Grow up and stop trying to be big he-men 'cause killing any creature just makes you pathetic!!!!

Whoever SHOT these foxes was an idiot. I thought they had a law against killing foxes! Why kill such beautiful creatures?! They look prettier when they're ALIVE! It's not even funny how you treat fellow animals. What'd they do to you? This is just a game to you guys isn't it?! They don't just choose to kill us for fun do they? Oh and i forgot about the furs that fancy rich ladies buy. So you're killing them for money eh? The two things you're killing when you buy a fox coat is of course a fox, and every animal that could have eaten this fox to prevent it from starving.
-love the angry hippie.
Posted by: FOWCHEE | November 11, 2008 1:14 AM
i understand why jack would feel this way about foxes. They are making his life and the lives of his friends very hard. However, i think there are other ways to solve the fox problem other than shooting.
I just dont like the fact that you put the pictures up there like your proud of what u did. Why is killing so exciting for you? Please explain to me why and how they "kill for fun." Do they kill your chickens and leave them there for you to find like its a game? How do YOU know?
And of course they smell! What wild animals is gonna take some soap down to the stream and wash themselves. They do the best they can.

WTF is wrong with you hunt ass bitches??? Don't you fucktards understand that animals have feelings, too? Well I guess you guys don't so go on being heartless and CRUEL, bastards!
Posted by: Daina | November 15, 2008 10:24 PM
Foxes aren't people. They're animals. They don't have the same feelings, consciousness etc. We don't need to treat them like people, nor personify them.
Happy to shoot them!
Go the hunt.

But here stateside, we don't have any foxes. Anyone care to explain what you do with them? Sell the fur? Eat them even (although I think this would be quite repulsive)?
Posted by: David | December 14, 2008 6:38 PM
David: We have plenty of foxes in the US ... they are hunted and trapped, so their numbers are kept at a reasonable level.
The Chinese pay good money for fox and bobcat furs ... they don't have a problem with PC idiots trying to attack women who can afford to wear fur.
I do like the way the retards emphasize their "message" by repeatedly hitting the post button. That takes a special level of dumb.

Well Mr. FM... After seeing all the negative comments toward hunters might I ask when you might be doing a wee bit of hunting? Just in case I'm ever across the pond. Should any of the animal rights terrorists (I mean groupies.. never mind they all taste the same) decide act violently in I'll be glad to do my part in keeping the human population in check.

I dont believe Kendra Tauer was born 9 years ago, doubtless that is his or her mental age but that is the writing of someone old enough to know better. I hope all the jolly nice PC types have their nice little pussy cats ( now they never kill for fun ) chewed and given fox-mange. I guess ignorance really is bliss!!
Posted by: Chris Edwards | December 14, 2008 10:51 PM
I hunt squirrels.
That's right! Big-eyed, bulging cheeks, cute-as-hell squirrels! Same as the singing ones and the one that helped snow white and the two Disney ones! And worse yet, I use my Beeman hollow points and engage the squirrel at at least 30m with only iron sights!
Also, are there foxes in Kali? Wouldn't try shooting a couple of those. Do you guys across the pond still use bloodhounds or use rifles?
Posted by: David | December 14, 2008 11:10 PM
Dear Mr. FMFT,
do your gentle commenters understand that the night photo of the three foxes most certainly indicates a night varmint shoot, from concealment and using a electronic bait issuing sounds labelled 'rabbit in distress'?
It's even more fun with some snow cover on the cornfield in Bucks County, PA.
Thanks for the memories.
GPMG, baby

I find it interesting that all the pro hunters are men, and all the people who are concerned about the suffering of animals are women. It really says a lot about each gender. Notice how in the news virtually all crime, rape and murder is committed by men? coincidence? I think not. It makes me sick that the world is still so controlled by men who are so obviously entranced and seduced by violence. I think that all of you trophy, sport hunting fagots are pathetic. I realize that since humans have done such a great job at upsetting the nature of things, that keeping fox populations under control is a necessary thing. I also realize that when you make a living by farming, that these animals can do a lot of damage... but the people who kill for the pleasure of it are really sick and demented. These are the people who give me an urge to hunt. Live and let live, fuck your testosterone charged egos... and let go of the mentality that humans own the planet. I can't wait for the day when human beings are extinct, the planet and all of its inhabitants will be much better off. Human beings are the most atrocious disease known to this planet. And to all of you people who are sticking up for the foxes, get a brain, read a book, realize that hunting isn't always bad and that it is sometimes necessary, cruelty need not be involved, fix your grammar, and stop giving animal activists a bad name you fucking retards.

Wrote this as a comment for a petition -> two men, 21 and 24 stole a 7 month old puppy... took a pair of garden shears and a pocket knife and hacked and mutilated this puppy to death while filming it, the puppy was screaming and they kept hacking it up... they cut off its nose and ears, both legs and probably more... they were trying to plead insanity for a lesser punishment.... even though the MAX was only 2 years.... I think one is in a mental institution, getting out scot free, and the other one received like 4 months in prison... or something... fucking retarded
These men deserve a life sentence in jail. A person who can brutally torture and mutilate something as innocent as a puppy is not a person you would ever want to meet. They have no business sharing the same freedoms as you or I, or any moral person who lives peacefully in society. If the same had been done to a human being, a life sentence would be unquestionable. Why is it that the pain and suffering of an animal is not seen to be as important or real as it is for a human? More often than not, animals experience even worse abuse than people do: why are these horrifying acts of sadistic and sociopathic behaviour not punished fittingly? Animal cruelty laws need to be strengthened NOW for the safety of our furry and feathered friends, and also for the people in our society who are exposed to these wretched human beings
On some family who just had their 18th fucking child... sick.
This makes me sick; it honestly gives me a creepy and perverted feeling all over. These people are obviously nymphomaniac religious freaks who don't believe in birth control. It's obviously why they have 18 kids and counting. Look at their ages; they are all more or less a year apart. They clearly would have sex and get pregnant, have sex throughout the pregnancy, pop a baby out and then have sex again until they got pregnant, and repeat the whole process. Who in their right mind would want 18 brats to take care of? What a money drain and a waste of their life. If they want all these kids, why don't they stop being such huge jesus freaks, get some contraceptive methods, to take care of their "sinful" horniness, and then adopt some children. There are plenty of them in need. These people are complete perverts, and if I was one of their children I would want to throw up every day of my life, knowing how often my parents had sex.

Well, the puppy thing is sick as hell. However, foxes are sick little bastards. Rabid ones on my aunt's farm have actually TORN into the udders of pregnant heffers. And, if you didn't notice, a 14 year old girl named Beth posted earlier and she was pro-hunt. If you do the job right, the fox doesn't feel a thing... BOOM out like a light. So, if you're going to hunt anything, do it right, do it humane, and make it a damn good shot. In my opinion, if you gut shot any animal, you're only a little better than the disgusting idiots who mutialated that puppy.

Money is absolutely no reason to murder such a beautiful creature. Foxes are just as valuable as humans, and far, far more valuable than those who see them as a pest. Well I have news for you, YOU ARE THE PESTS!! Foxes cause humans some minor problems...it doesn't matter! They are valuable and if I ever saw any of you out there who think that it's right killing a fox I would murder you with my bare hands. I do not value your life above the foxes and I value them above my own too. I love all animals but I despise the stinking, crawling, pitiful, cowardly excuse for an animal that is called man!

And to all of you people who are sticking up for the foxes, get a brain, read a book, realize that hunting isn't always bad and that it is sometimes necessary, cruelty need not be involved, fix your grammar, and stop giving animal activists a bad name you fucking retards.his is bullsh*t i swear i'll will find you and beet you with a riffle and see how you like it you mother f*ckers you guys make me sick let me say one thing to you you all rot in Beep with the beep shut the fugh with the beep of the beep

Both sides should think about it this way. The foxes need to eat. Just like every other being. And chicken coops are an esay target. Now if I had four mouths to feed and I was starving myself I would go for the chicken coop over a stupid hare that won't stay still. Even though the fox is my favorite animal we do need to keep it's population under control. If we don't they might run out of prey because they'd eat it all and then they'd attack humans for food. No one would be safe.

atleast these foxes werent injected with steroids, i dont know if people eat them, but cruelty is a different genre when it comes to commercial meat. these foxes were lucky to be hunted primordially, they're returned to the earth now.
