With opening meets due to take place in the next couple of weeks all over the country, it can only mean that it is the season for fox-hunting again.What do you think about it? Are you for or against? Or maybe you don't really have an opinion?
"Before you judge, give a sparing thought to farmers that lose money and business from foxes killing or wounding their livelihood; chickens, cows and sheep.
Foxes are vermin that kill farmer’s livestock for fun. Imagine that farmer’s livelihood is all I have mentioned above.
Think that if a fox destroyed most of it, how would he put food on the table for his family? How would he provide?
Hunters are trying to protect the livestock of the farming community. Shooting the foxes can lead to a slow and painful death that isn’t as humane as allowing a foxhound to get it."
