I completely agree with Becky, hunting is wrong. It is a bunch of toffs trying to prove their masculinity by chasing down and killing a small defenceless animal - wow, so macho. The poor fox has to endure a terrifying chase trying its best to find somewhere to hide. When it is finally caught (it's not likely to get away) it is essentially mauled to death. Hunters will protest this and say that it is killed humanely by a simple nip to the neck. Come on, it is a pack of dogs doing the killing not a bloody experienced surgeon! The fox will sometimes get chased underground to a burrow, the dogs go after it and bite away at its backside till it finally dies an agonising death- how in hell is this humane? Hunting has been a natural thing for animals and humans since the beginning of time, but it is done out of necessity to survive not simply for fun. If foxes do cause such a problem then they can be killed quick and painlessly by a skilled marksman. I am glad they bought in the ban on hunting, and I hope that anyone who is caught breaking the ban is punished accordingly.
