They say fox hunting should be allowed to control the population but really it's about going on a jolly with your mates and partaking in a blood sport to get off on. It's the same with gay marriage - the debate is that it "tarnishes the tradition" of marriage but really it's about a bunch of close-minded idiots who feel the need to deprive others of happiness just because the thought of two blokes going at it makes them uncomfortable.

Claim: Hunted foxes my die even when they are not killed directly by a hunt. Some foxes may be too exhausted to recover and subsequent lack of hunting success leads to a downward spiral of starvation, susceptibility to disease and an early death.

Claim: Foxes escaping the hounds after a long chase may die from stress long after the hunt

How the hell is that humane?

Disclaimer: I'm from the USA and I hunt. I've never seen dogs used as the method for killing an animal however, and I eat all the game I kill.

That sounds like some shit you'd see in the Roman Colosseum.
