No im not joking. Its the truth, dont believe me then read some news once in awhile instead of just bitching because your precious animals are being hunted. Jesus H Christ., some of you people are just...
Open your eyes to reality. Over population of animals is FACT, honest to God, and regulated hunting is the one of the primary controlers of this. I honestly dont know how I could word it better to get it through your thick head.
I'm going to go with AeroGod on this to an extent (he's not talking about the specific fox hunt ban though, just in general).
after all Australians are killing Koala bears and Canadians are killing seals for a reason. (Overpopulation), if you can make a profit from controlling the population rather that spend government money on it, then hey, score.
But as another poster said predators should not be hunted.

Uhhhh, im not talking about this situation. Im refering to the other people in this thread who said all hunting is wrong and it should all be banned,
I am fully aware of illegal and unethical situations of hunting and poaching animals, like this situation. If an animal is bread just so it can be hunted, then that is wrong. Going out into other parts of the world like Africa and hunting and poaching potentially endangered animals is wrong. I am aware of these things, not all hunting is good.
We haven't banned hunting foxes as such (you can still shot em, well farmers can) they've banned hunting with dogs. Its a very class orientated issue over here and as someone who's seen hunts at close quarters, full of people who have far to much time and money on there hands. Farmers love the hunts, not that it rids them off foxes in that they charge the hunts a fortune to roam across there land. Me to be honest I'd let them get on with it, they (the hunters) are a strange breed and to be honest most are the type you wouldn't piss on if they were on fire.
I say if you're going to hunt anything, use a bow and arrow. Hell of a lot more challenge and it may be that much more satisfying. Instead of the instant "YEAH I GOT THAT SUCKAH!" you get a nice 1-2 second moment of extreme tension as the arrow sails through the air at its target.
Well.... I'd think it'd be kewl...

Yeah its much better. I do bow and crossbow hunting. Its Much harder but I think its more fun. You actually feel like a hunter, unlike with a gun it feels a bit to easy. Im not big on using guns. Although some of the bows today are so overloaded they might as well be guns because they have all these bells and whistles that do everything for you. All the technology they keep getting and all these new high tech equipments take all the skill out of hunting, why even bother I say
Its getting a bit crazyMore evidence of the Labour Government attempting to exterminate the British in their own country. Predictably Labour totally ignores animals having their throats slit while still alive at Muslim festivals ect in Britian while foaming at the mouth to stop a few hundred British eccentrics making an arse of themselves ever weekend.

I used to think hunting was a stupid activity for people who just liked to kill shit but then after some years I realized there is reverence in killing something to eat it. Maybe not as much with a gun but it is still there. I came to that conclusion when it occured to me that I would have no idea how to catch a rabbit and prepare it for consumption. That much I understand about hunting.

Stupid post of the day!
Not sure there's any type in the UK, dogs and horses are probably the most dangerous. Hell humans get shot each year somehow

Bullshit.. nature can perfectly keep itself in check with a balanced predator-prey ratio.
Over population only occurs once we step in and mess things up. Either by introducing 'prey' into a region with no predators ( like rabbits in Australia) or by hunting down the predators to extinction so the prey can breed undisturbed.
I remember when activists on TV would use blow horns to throw off the hounds. This one little (spoiled ) girl on her horse charged the fence where the activits were, yelled at them and then started crying because they foiled her hunt. Poor baby. I still dont understand the "sport" in riding around on a horse and following hounds untill they catch a fox.
To me its the same as a bunch of these guys running around in a truck looking for 'niggers' to kill.

Time ta STEP IT UP
I "Hunted" a wood pecker today that has been pecking at my house for weeks with this pellet gun. After I had to fill in the holes every other day with putty, I finally called it quits. This woodpecker would come around at 7:00 AM every morning like clockwork.
So on this lovely Thursday, I stepped outside.... waited around on a pattio chair... and at 7:32 to the AM, the very same wood pecker sat down on my brother's bedroom shingles. I even gave him the benifit of the doubt by waiting to see if he would drill a hole, because if he didn't I'd have let him go. But he still began to make a nice hole, so I aimed, squeeeeezed the trigger, felt the shot, and he was gone.
I hope that doesn't offend people here, but that fucker had either learn, or he had to go.

Is there anything wrong with that perspective? I personally hold it because of my religious views. Dice has already asserted in a way that religious views can justify his views on hunting.... my views more closely mirror your attempt at parody.

And even i am moderately surprised

your answer to everything lies in the text above.
it's all a high-class ritual full of rules and wanky etiquette, you can't ride infront of certain riders , blooding of n00bs, etc etc...
"The fox feels nothing in the kill... it's made of string. And I don't think there would be quite as much fuss if we were killing a small car full of chips..."

Why don't you shut the fuck up before you start calling me thick headed. For one your arguing two different things here. You talking about killing deer while this is about foxes over in the UK. If you knew anything about deer you'd know the out of control population problem with deer has to do with the fact that all of the predators of the deer were killed off by humans. So now people LIKE ME (hey I hunt so you can shove you peace loving animal crap up your ass) have to go out and keep the population down because we fucked with nature and now we have to fix the problem.
And as a hunter that knows what people do here's a secret....PEOPLE DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES AND REGULATION TO A TEE. People just kill off shit that they aren't suppose to and they kill more than they are regulated to. And to top that off most people don't get the required licenses or whatever they need because if they are breaking the law they don't give a shit about buying that.
Your Bush and jobs bit was mainly what I was talking about so thanks for overacting to somebody who doesn't kiss your ass. Bush is doing a fucked up job with the economy in general and with everything else basically so don't try to defend his ass saying that he isn't the reason why people are losing jobs but rather nutcase animal rights people. So I'll repeat I really don't see why you brought that into this as it meant nothing and I really do doubt that the hunting industry brings in billions of dollars. If it does then I underestimated it as I don't think its that large. You basically just have it all falling under the gun industry with little else making up the hunting industry. And just because something makes money doesn't mean its something that we should keep around (which I guess you were implying since you said it). The child porn industry probably makes as much as or more than the hunting industry but we shouldn't keep that around just because it will pad Bush's "look at all the people who didn't lose their job" stats.
"Animlas arnt like humans. THey keep fucking and fucking untill their popualtion is overloaded"
This is wrong as well. Just look at places like China and India their populations are more overloaded than any animal. Hell they pay people NOT to have children in China.
And this argument about animals fucking until their population is overloaded is only true with prey (like deer) not with foxes that are predators. Predators have much smaller populations because they are dictated by the population of the animal/animals that they eat.
And I never once said that I was against hunting of animals (because I'm not) so you should stop going nuts over people that have a different opinion of yours. Just because somebody doesn't agree doesn't make them some animal loving freak. If anything this fox hunting in the UK is mostly done by a bunch of rich sissies that just do it to look big and tough. They don't hunt for food or for animal control so comparing them to hunters is a joke and an insult to anybody that really hunts.
:lol @ NWO. Youre too much for me buddy.
It sounds like you dont even enjoy hunting. :lol
Ohh well, Im sorry that the human population and our technology expanded and we took the precious space and killed off the wolfs and threw off the balance of the Animal Kingdom. If I had a time machine I would go back and let everyone know that it was a bad idea. "Hey guys, dont build cities or develop your culture because dammit, the predators need a place to live. Cant we at least think about the predators."
If you're so pissed off about it, maybe you should contact your congressman and ask him to destory a large city and turn it into a reservation for predators so we can hang up our hunting equipment and get on wiht our lives. Im sick of cleaning up humanities mistake and having ot control the animal population myself.
