Don’t believe all you read, the Bedale hunt still hunt foxes.
I have no problem with people shooting animals to eat but I cannot abide cruelty & fox hunting is barbaric & anybody who enjoys terrorising & chasing an animal until it’s lungs are on the point of bursting & then watching as it’s torn to shreds are complete & utter morons.
~1 Don't believe all you read, the Beadale hunt trail hunt, the focus has been on them long enough that most members would be in jail by now if it were any different, the bloody sabs will tell you different but it simply isnt true
~2 Foxes are one of the few animals apart from humans that will kill for the sake of it rather than because they are hungry Eg every hen in a coup dead and torn to shreds but only 1 or maybe 2 taken
I have seen it more times than I care to remember with hens, domestic rabbits and even small pups, I don't feel sorry for the fox that gets shot when it causes a problem .... beautiful creature with a black heart
Having said all that I do however agree that hunting with dogs in the sense you mean is not acceptable causing suffering to any animal however nasty is not the right thing to do, kill it cleanly when it becomes a problem and leave it at that, no need for a song and dance from so called "gentlemen"
On to sodding sabs what an utter cunch of bunts they turned out to be attacking farms and other animal related operations with absolutely no clue as to the consequences of their actions
A prime example of this was releasing a few hundred mink local to where I used to live (another animal that will kill for no reason)
I 100% disagree with the raising of mink for some tarts fur collar and a large profit, which is what it amounts to, but the actions of the sabs destroyed the local bird, fish and smaller mammal population to the extent that it still hasn't recovered over 10 years on, killing the mink however distasteful that may seem would have been a better option all round and the result the same for those raising them (loss of profit and closure) but without devastating the environmental impact
