Fox Hunting, for or against?

As Sgt. Rock suggested...

 

Where's the classist and cruel option?

GTM

 

I thought about it but decided against it. I started with 5 options which included Cruel but necessary and Not cruel and necessary, then decided to reduce the number of options. You have to draw the line somewhere

 

Wheres the "dont care" option?

 

If you don't care, don't vote .

And before you start quoting stats, bear in mind the low turnout in various elections. The don't cares do not form part of any statistics.

To be honest, I forgot

 

where is the i dont really care option, or should i of just kept my mouth shut?


EDIT: didnt even care enough to read the posts

EDIT: or the option NO, what will all the dogs horses and people that do the hard work have left to do.

 

Also, I don't have an option for my opinion. I think posh people should be allowed to hunt foxes only if poor people (dressed as foxes) are allowed to hunt posh people.

 

where's the: it's a bit of fun for those that can afford it and no more cruel than motor racing, falconry, shooting or fishing option? (all of which cause pain and anguish to some people or animals either directly or indirectly). an obviously biased poll in which i've had to vote for the only option for someone who believes in personal liberty can.

a bit of fun

 

So tell me why it's biased then, I think ZeroGain forum members are a good representation of the general public ?

Everyone is free to vote yes or no.

 

Where's the "It's pointless" option?

 

Where's the 'Isn't it fun to dress up in over-tight trousers and knee-high leather boots and to brandish a whip in an effort to inflict pain on a small furry creature' option?

 

That certainly does sound fun to me, especially if I am at the receiving end

 

Is see. And what's your position on small furry creatures?

 

Yes dam right this should be banned, I really can't see how this can be aligned with Motor racing, where did that come from!?
As Spain is part of the EU as well now I feel they should ban Bull fighting as well, how cruel is that, in fact it shocking. but highlights the typical case of EU telling us to do one thing and other counties are left untouched.
This type of activity that harms animals in anyway should be looked at, how anyone can treat an animal in these ways and call it sport is just sickening.

 

WTF have I started PMSL. A bit worried about you now Paul. That recent trip to the local A&E makes sense now

 

I wondered when someone would mention Bull Fighting. Yes, that should be banned too. They do it here in Portugal aswell btw, but here the law is a farce. Officially the matador (which means killer) is not allowed to kill the bull in the arena, it has to be killed outside after the show. However, many Portuguese matadors are ignoring the law and killing the bull inside the arena. IMO if you're going to kill it anyway, then better to kill it in the arena so at least people don't get the sanitized version. However, it should all be banned.

However Lee, this has nothing to do with the EU. The EU isn't telling the UK to ban fox hunting. It's got nothing to do with the matter.

Theres only one position that I can see suitable: Doggie style

 

motor racing - 1 - 5 mpg. emissions cause asthma in small children racing circuits were built on wild animal habitats. manufacturing causes more environmental damage and more ousting of wildlife - need i go on? so by the logic of some here dressing up in rubber, wearing thigh high galoshes and lying in wait ready to jam a piece of bent barbed wire through the lip (or in the throat) of some poor unsuspecting animal and then hoiking it out of it's environment thus suffocating it is acceptable?

lee,
harming animals like slashing their throats and letting the blood drain out? hmm i think they call that kosher or halal butchery try banning that. (not that i think it should be banned - it's an ethnic tradition steeped in history hmmmm sounds familiar).

The options are biased. The farmers and people who could be affected by the change in law need to be consulted. Their livelihood need to be protected and is the most important consideration. The fox is only of minor and perhaps trivial significant.
