Everything living has a right to live that life.
Im sure there are ways to deter foxes, keep them off your farm etc... without getting them ripped to shreds? on the other hand, they can be a pest and need to be controlled, but ripping them to shreds is instant death at least.. laying in traps maimed is not a nice alternative!
But I am a big animal lover... I mean big time....
but if it did stop, thousand of hounds just get shot instanly? or forgotten and not wanted?
we will never stop this..we will never agree.. Tony Blair tried and got bombarded and only reduced it to rules that if they dont 'plan' to kill the fox.. is isnt punishable!
which is just creating a massive loophole to take advantage of.
Take responsibility and build better boundaries and fences I say, no matter how big or small your land.. protect your livestock properly if your a farmer..
..run the retired 'hounds' in agility or similar.. and scatter bait with contraceptives in for the foxes..to keep the populations down.
in an ideal world, this way everyone is happy, but we dont live in an ideal world...
So, I am sorry to say it but I am on the fence with this one..:grr:
