    was that the one that drifted into the meaning of life or the fact that we are not actualy excisting in reality ? or something that had little too do with foxs, hunting or erm prety much anything anyone else was saying, apart from two people ? :p ...

    Was it also the one that was full of people who could hardly spell their own names, let alone string together a rational argument?

    Are you talking about moi ? surely not hahahaha.. If memory serves me i think you were part of the discusion that i speak of .. It was not a swipe, i only caught the end of that.. Don't read anything nasty into what or how i said it , no malice at all (only that possibly generated by yourself, for some unknown reason ?). I might just go back and read it from the begining ..

    In my opinion the ban on fox hunting is slightly irrelevant as it is still legal to kill foxes by much more efficient means; so whether it is done as a "sport" or not should be up to whatever weirdo actually finds it entertaining. There are far more important animal rights issues such as factory farming which I think is far worse in every possible way.

    Factory Farming effects more animals and is f**king barbaric.

    Why do we think animals are just there to serve us?... It's crazy imo.

    Good point:)

    we are animals , and the arguement for us not eating or killing animals is well never going to be won by people that don't agree with it.. possibly this is a sad thing. I think its the treatment and mechanical way we do it rather than the actual killing of .. that i have a problem with . I watched a programe yestaerday were a baby pig was served up as a 'fast food' i think it was in were the inca people live geography along with other things not my strong point ?... now on the other hand they are possibly held up for their understanding of maintaining a equilibrium with the land, so 'nice' ... but baby pigs yuck and completly gruesome imho..

    matthew... I haven't always been vegan you know... pre 12 I ate meat... I do understand the mind set of meat eaters and diary eaters... I used to be one!

    yes we are all animals... but you knew the context I meant that word in :)

    But anyway...

    Yes I agree... Factory farming is a sick way to treat animals... I could go on and on about this as it's upsets me greatly:(

    But I won't as Wednesdays are depressing enough without me thinking too much about this at this time:p

    Yeah so I know I'm probably reiterating ideas and comments that have already been phrased. So sue me. But I couldn't be happier, still think they should ban the two dog thing as well, might just be me but seems to make you appear as a better hunter if you can find the fox on your own. Plus I'm a horse fan, and I've heard of too many accidents that have led to horses being killed. Have a mass surplus of animals running around in close quarters and having to go over obstacles doesn't seem to be a very safe plan to me. Plus I still am a much bigger fan of drag hunts... must be the animal side of me. The fox might suppose to be shot, but if the dog gets to it first... then you got a problem.
