Against Fox Hunting with Hounds

Fox-hunting with hounds is cruel and unnecessary. It has little effect
on
reducing fox numbers. In the main, it is practiced by well-heeled
snobs who are
in it for the social stature of mixing with who they see as the
"right" people.
At the hint being portrayed as such, they trot out some hapless
individual to
pour out a sob story about how his livelihood will be devastated and
rural life
destroyed if the "sport" is banned. This is scare-mongering nonsense.
Only a
tiny minority of horses are involved in hunts. In Lothian, Central
Scotland,
where the local hunt was discontinued ten years ago, the number of
horses has
increased substantially because of leisure activities thus requiring
more
stables with associated facilities and services, than at any time
previously.

Foxes die a horrible death when caught by hounds. They are caught from
behind
by the leading hounds and ripped to pieces whilst still alive. The lie
put
forth by hunters that foxes are killed instantly by a quick bite to
the back of
the neck was recently exposed by post mortems at Bristol University
for
evidence presented to the Burns Inquiry into Hunting with Dogs. These
examinations revealed profound trauma by repeated dog bite, little
tissue
damage in the head, neck and shoulder region but pronounced damage to
the
ribcage and the thoracic organs, with damage to the abdomen,
hindquarters or
chest probably being the cause of death. Foxes that attempt to run to
ground
often find their lair has been intentionally blocked and those that
manage to
escape underground are frequently dug out and beaten to death with a
spade,
before their "brush" is cut off in a traditional form of weird
ceremony.

But foxes are not the only victims of this barbaric activity. Hounds
that
reach middle age and those that are disinclined to follow the scent
are
destroyed and there are numerous incidents where horses and hounds are
injured
and killed during the chase. It has also been known for hounds to
mount a
frenzied attack on domestic pets. A graphic insight into the
barbarism and
brutality of hunting with dogs is shown in the League Against Cruel
Sports
video entitled "Chaos In the Countryside" and available by contacting
them on
020 7403 6155. The video is free but a donation to cover production
costs and
postage and packing is appreciated.

Farmers do not suffer greatly from fox attack and many are among those
who
oppose hunting with dogs. A 1996 MAFF publication stated that only
0.4 % of
lambs die from accidents, dog attacks and all other animal predation.
This
extremely small number includes those killed by foxes. Indeed, it has
been said
on many occasions that shepherds will blame the fox for killing a lamb
when
what has actually happened is that the fox has scavenged from one that
was
already dead. Also, with regard to the favourite accusation of foxes
killing
chickens - whoever heard of a fox having a key to open a secure
poultry pen?

The fox is a friend to the farmer as a predator of rats and rabbits
and assists
in cleaning up fields by eating the afterbirth during lambing. He is
also a
predator of deer fawns that begs the question of why there is a need
to kill
foxes when it is thought by some that deer populations are too high.
But
that's another story.

Hunting with dogs is neither an efficient or necessary method of
controlling
foxes. In fact in some areas there is such a dearth of foxes it is
thought
that that some hunts are surreptitiously breeding their own and
feeding wild
cubs. In June 2000 secret filming by the International Fund for
Animal Welfare
showed an employee of the Beaufort Hunt actually feeding fox cubs.

Various polls have shown that an overwhelming majority of the British
electorate are firmly behind banning fox hunting and two thirds of our
MPs have
already voted for a ban. But probably the most interesting revelation
of all
was the 1997 Gallop poll for the Daily Telegraph that showed whilst
84% of
urban dwellers disapproved of fox hunting, 77% of rural people also
disapproved. So this is not a town versus country issue as the
Countryside
Alliance would have us believe; it is a nationwide revulsion against
those who
seek their pleasure from animal cruelty.

On February 13th 2002, the Scottish Parliament voted by a massive
majority to
ban hunting with dogs. Tireless campaigners such as Advocates for
Animals;
RSPCA; The League Against Cruel Sports; Animal Aid; IFAW; the National
Anti-Hunt Campaign have all played a vital role in bringing about this
legislation by creating public awareness of the obscenity of fox
hunting.

The Scottish success will surely spur on these campaigners to maintain
the
momentum towards a total ban throughout the UK. Nothing succeeds like
success!

But small little-known groups of hunt saboteurs and campaigners are
also doing
their bit to rid us of fox hunting. An example of one of these is the
Surrey
Anti-hunt Campaign that managed to reduce the number of local inns
that hosted
hunt meets from nineteen to four. This amazing success was achieved by
peaceful
demonstration and by encouraging people to write non-abusive letters
to the
landlords. Recently, a large traditional hunt ball had to be
cancelled
because a suitable venue could not be found. More power to their
elbow!

The present UK government has committed itself to banning hunting with
hounds,
so it is up to those of us who oppose fox hunting to lobby our
national and
local government representatives to make sure they keep their word.

Ironically, it's the hunters who are now on the run!

Let's keep up the pressure and go for the kill.

It is now pretty certain that 'Foxhunting', 'Hunting with Hounds', call it
what you like, *will* be made illegal within the UK.
The times of heated debate and opinions are almost over - Michael you have
lost. It matters little what you think, you and your fellow pervs and
cottage queens will *have* to abide by the law. Of course there will always
be the hard core who will ignore legislation and test the issue.

Initially you will be fined, no problem for the CAP subsided farmers, but if
you persist you *will* end up 'in the nick'.

I will now give you the same advice I gave ~~Jonnie~~ a few months ago.

When in the prison showers - if you drop the soap, don't even *think* about
picking it up!

Do not despair Micheal, you can always go out and shoot a few hundred
squirrels - perfectly legal. Or if you feel like a little real excitement in
your life - may I suggest a little 'midnight cubbing'? All you need is a
spade and torch. Dig em up, bash out their brains with the spade, "instant
delight". Not legal, but who cares. As you well know, Rural Devon is not
policed!

You *can* still enjoy your life to the full Michael, just forget about the
foxhunting.
