Fox Hunts Ride Out For Boxing Day Meets - Page 2 146900472-1-252x337

We having foxes that come into our garden with their cubs...Sometimes they are a bit noisy at night, but i like that as living in an urban area...I feel that it brings you closer to nature.

Thousands of supporters attended Boxing Day hunts across the UK today as a poll shows 80% of people remain opposed to hunting with dogs for sport.

Some 250 hunts rode out today on the biggest day of the hunting calendar, some following an artificial scent while others hunting foxes within the law.

Groups of hunt saboteurs were out in force too, monitoring hunts they believed were trying to flout the law and hunt foxes illegally.

Yawning Fox
The poll suggests opinions on hunting are the same in urban and rural areas
The survey commissioned by animal welfare organisation The League Against Cruel Sports reveals 80% of the public think hunting should not be made legal again.

In October, David Cameron said he had "some sympathies" with farmers demanding the use of packs of hounds to flush out foxes if they threatened livestock. Once driven out, the foxes could be shot.

Downing Street suggested it might introduce a government motion to amend the 2004 ban on hunting by relaxing rules that say farmers can only use two dogs to hunt.

The Prime Minister's official spokesman said he was particularly worried about hill farmers who have suffered heavy losses of livestock that is threatening their livelihoods.

Joe Duckworth, chief executive of The League Against Cruel Sports, said: "Hunting is a sickeningly cruel blood sport, which, like us, the majority of the British public do not want brought back.

"Voting for repeal would be political suicide. We need to move forward as a nation, not backwards on matters of animal welfare."

The survey, carried out by Ipsos MORI, also suggests that on the issue of legalising fox hunting, there is no difference between people living in rural areas and those in urban areas.

Gavin Grant, chief executive of the RSPCA, which also commissioned the survey, said: "As a rural dweller I have always known that opposition to hunting with dogs has never been an issue of 'town versus country'. This poll proves it once and for all.

"The message to MPs is loud and clear. Hunting wild animals with dogs is unethical, inhumane and cruel."

Oh.....And they don't attack domestic cats either, as we have observed out cats through the window when they are out there at the same time, they don't take a blind bit of notice towards each other.

Well I can assure you costa that back on of the many old ADO's sphinx did tell me that, now I'm not sure if your just doing a didge here or not, but she told me that she had fibromyalgia and that it left her way too tired to be able to cope with the kids so her ex does that and that sphinx had her then 17 year old live with her, the ex had the other 3 kids...
She had then posted about going on fishing and boat trips and that she would go to watch the meet up for the fox hunts...

Some are beginning to turn this into something else , I have no reason to lie and as far as I'm concerned it's the end of the matter, I was proving how wrong her priorities are...

If someone has energy to do outdoor sportsmen then they have the energy to take care of their own kids, even if it is tough...

I thought you also said along with didge that we are all responsible for our own finances costa?...does that not extend to our own kids?

Can't look after them them don't have them, end of.

Yes, I know all about the history of Sphinx's illness.

It's an illness that can floor you at any time, some days you feel good and others days it will just strike you down. My Aunt Nancy has a daughter in her 40's who has it, she has a husband and 2 kids and when it strikes her, she cannot attend to her kids, husband, house etc.

She literally has to be carried upstairs to her bed.

...carried onto the boat too?..

If it were other parents, then when they are feeling better they would like to have their kids first ,not outdoor sports ...

Truth is we both don't know her in RL Costa , I'm only going on what SHE said on her old forum.

Right let me place this into perspective for you, if someone was mocking Doug and claiming you did not care for him and the like, I would say the same thing as it is disgusting to bring up people who are not here and to attack those closest to them with such underhanded tactics.
So it has nothing to do with anything right wing, it has everything to do with common decency!

Funny that you didn't say anything to your buddies who were dishing out the abuse directed at Doug on Flap.

Complete lie again, I have said little about benefit scroungers, in fact, please post 2 posts where I even mention benefit scroungers?

You have the balls to try and worm your way out by making further accusations, well, ball is in your court, show where I stated benefit scroungers?

Nah she has the kind that prevents her from working or looking after her children, not the kind that interferes with leisure pursuits like hunting shooting and fishing!

Indeed Nems , I'm not normally one to slam folk for their circumstances but if I were her, I would be far more focused on my children rather than fishing and fox hunts, it would break me not to have them stay with me and I know you would be the same, it's all very bizarre for anyone to put hunting and fishing before their children,let alone a woman, and she must be made of solid stuff not to want to see them everyday and from what she said, she chooses not to see them everyday...

I have no sympathy for people like that, I myself am also disabled with a few things not as they should be, I get sever spinal pain and what not, but that would NEVER stop me wanting to be with my kids, children never asked to be born , we chose that and should look after them and love them with all our heart.

Like you say Nems, it just does not fit, a mother who will not look after her children, but has all the time and energy to go to illegal hunts , fishing and what not.
If she had lost both her legs then I would understand more, but it sounds like they can come back once they are older as the youngest ones are more dependant on the parents, let the father raise them then take the credit when they are older.

I'm sorry if this sounds brutal , but one thing I loathe is people who can not be bothered with their kids when they damn well should be.

We brought them into this world and it is each of our duties to raise them as best we can, there are too many kids feeling unloved and unwanted, this later leads to trouble in later life.

Kids come first.

Good afternoon Joy Division.

That's no gonna happen Costa, I been on her forums before and gave them all the benefit of the doubt, nothing but RW hypocrisy , abuse etc...and if you complain you are labeled led as being a petty whinger.

I've more than learnt my lesson over there, sphinx is more than capable of arguing it over here, without abuse of course.

by Guest Fri Dec 27, 2013 4:18 pm

All I am PMing you phil is a polite request that this abuse at myself be taken away from this forum because the owners of this forum are nothing to do with it and do not deserve it in their front room so to speak.

The only low life is the person not willing to take up the offer to debate this elsewhere and thus not spoiling the forum with your poor accusations.

Sphinx has been very nice about this and not wanted to spoil the forum for Ben and the team hence her offer, so do yourself a favour, if you are not going to have the decency to do so, then put a sock in it!

It is unfounded claims when you do not understand an illness, plain and simple, I am not going to bother with such a piece of shit as you are Joy, you have been offered to debate this elsewhere and you are running scared and the one shit stirring making unfounded claims.

Also hope you have a good weekend

Not here in Texas though, where we have an equivalent that I once wrote an article about: Coyote hunts.

So do you hunt the foxes with hounds or cruise missiles.

Used to debate this other chap from the states, his name eludes me at the moment who tied to claim hunting get the populations in check, which was completely false when I looked into as in fact it was manipulating the populations I found out to my horror. I have no problem with hunting for necessity where it is a way of life for some people, though these people have simple lives that never take as much as they need.
I suppose this goes hand in hand with the silly gun laws out there Ben with hunting?

I mean where is the sport in going after animals armed with a semi automatic rifle anyway?

Well, the people I interviewed actually conducted it like a traditional fox hunt, with regular hunting rifles, on horseback, even the traditional fox-hunting costume. They were very self-conscious about it; for them it was part of their culture (all had a LOT of money) and they tended to view themselves more as bookish traditionalists than mighty hunters.

The kind you're talking about is the real problem -- the likes of Sarah Palin flying up in helicopters and shooting wolves with advanced assault rifles more for fun than for any kind of population control, as the wolves are somewhat endangered if anything, and certainly not a nuisance to most people.

Generally the only time Americans have problems with wolves or coyotes is when they move into a brand-spanking-new housing development and find the local canines didn't get the memo ...

Interesting view point Ben

Just one more thing about the hunt club I wrote about -- after the article ran, the member who tipped me off about it got kicked out Smile

I actually wrote a very respectful article. They really didn't want publicity of any kind!
