The Prime Minister, David Cameron, has said he believes in the "freedom to hunt" and wants fox hunting legalised.


He has said he has "always been a strong supporter of country sports" and that "it is [his] firm belief that people should have the freedom to hunt".


After their majority win in the election on 7th May 2015, the Conservatives will very likely hold a parliamentary vote on repealing the fox hunting ban.


This is not a thread to discuss Fox Hunting but a chance to express any apposing views and sign the petition.

Not that I really care one way or the other about the subject, but you don't have the right to define who can and can't add to the thread, Foxy.

This subject has been discussed to death. If you want to Resurrect an old thread or start a new one

please feel to do so.


This thread has been raised to raise awareness of the current Petition to the Government.

Regardless of what can/can't be added to the thread, I'm so intrigued about something, I'm asking anyway:


Loz, WHY don't you care?

Don't personally understand how anyone in the 21st century can seriously be pro anything that involves murdering an innocent animal for the fun of it, then spending most of your time complaining about your human rights when you've been banned from partaking in this so called "sport". This shouldn't been be on the agenda for reconsideration, it was abolished for a reason.

Because it is argument packed with complete losers on both sides. One side, some well meaning animals types who are far outnumbered by idiotic class warriors. The other, some well meaning traditional country types who are far outnumbered by a different type of idiotic class warriors.


A pox on both their houses, frankly.

I'm not sure you are really grasping how little I care on the subject. As I said, I find too many morons on both side of the argument to want to take sides.

If you do not care one way or the other then why don't you look for another thread to hi-jack.

It's something you seem to be very good at.


Like I said this thread is to bring attention to a petition for people who do care to be able to participate.


and that's all it is....

It's not about moron people, it's about the FOX!


If you care about them being ripped to shreds, or if you don't.


If you really don't care, have a think about it from the fox's side. How can you not care? Unbelievable.


Do you have pets? Dogs, cats, foxes, all feel you know.

I've seen rabbits with myxomatosis (highly unpleasant) and foxes that were not taken out with a clean shot and almost certainly died in much pain. Other ways of animal control like snares are even worse. Rat poison causes them to bleed internally until they die.


So why only fox hunting with dogs? This is the crux of what I don't get. This is why I feel that it's just a class issue, hijacking an animal issue. And if it's just a class issue, then, yes, I don't care.

It's not a class issue though is it?


And you know how I feel. Snares, rat poison, any blood sport (fox/deer hunting, hare coursing, shooting) turns my stomach.


I would ban it all but this thread is about fox hunting.


I'd even ban mouse traps. But a living creature being chased, terrifed, then torn into bits while still alive and screaming in pain?


Think about it.

Loz I am in shock at your sheer splitting of hairs over this issue. Any form of cruelty is wrong surely? we are all animals, we all feel pain. You seem to be bypassing the cruelty aspect and refering to some bizarre class issue.


That reminds me, as an aside, hands off greedy that's historically my beef.

    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here. 
    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
