Please do not presume to speak for anyone else here, many of us
lurkers in AAF do not bury our heads in the sands and view foxes as
an object to be looked at, they are living, breathing animals and as
such deserve our attention.

You could try alt.burymyheadinthesand.I.cant.hear you. for your silly
notions.

I'm sorry, I don't see what that has to do with my message. I
haven't suggested that anyone not care about the cruelty of the
hunt, or bury their heads in the sand. To the contrary, it's when
the huge on-going political debates flood the group that the
discussion of the living, breathing animals themselves gets lost
in the noise.

If you want to discuss the hunt, then there are suitable groups...
to not carry that debate over to alt.animals.foxes doesn't stop
it, or keep anyone from hearing it. Not even anyone in a.a.f: an
anncouncement of an interesting thread can be posted in a.a.f with
followups set back to the original group.

Honestly, it's entirely possible to be inclusive without being
abusive.

It's what you always do Pete. Can't blame him for imitating you now can
