Have you ever seen a fox hunt for real?

Postby wendy » 18 Feb 2015, 16:41

It is 10 years since the Ban came about which got me thinking to the Fox hunts that I used to see as a child.
I have seen them running across the fields as well, and everyone used to get very excited.

I still think there must be a more humane way to kill a fox than this way.

But have you seen huntsmen on their horses, not on the TV? and what are your opinions on fox hunting?

I have never seen a fox hunt, I am not sure I would like to see the fox torn up by the hounds , it sounds barbaric

I did not mean the actual kill, I meant the 'meet' .
I could not think about the kill, it turns my stomach over.
Also the cruel people who do 'hare coursing' makes me sick.
