      That would seem to me like a positive step forward for humanity, and animals too!

      I think they should allow fox hunting, under the condition one hunter should be picked at random and hunted each year as penance

      > The British Hound Sports Association (BHSA) has previously said trail hunts are “vital” to rural communities as they not only bring in money into the rural economy, but also support mental and physical wellbeing.

      Doing self-care by being a bloodthirsty psycho determined to inflict pain on cute animals. It’s for mental health.

      About time.

      I get hunting with horses and dogs used to be necessary, but these days we’ve got guns for pest control. If you want to ride your horse or walk your dogs just do it, you don’t need to justify it by chasing some terrified animal to death.

      Labour, and city people in general, have always hated the hunt, it represents a kind of rich country lifestyle that they have a committed class warfare against. Considering the tone in these threads (and the likely downvotes I’ll receive on this comment) I imagine most of Reddit are townies too.

      There is an argument that bloodsports aren’t suitable for the modern age and should be banned. Ok, fine, you did that in 2005. (You don’t have any interest in banning grouse and pheasant shoots, which rich townies do, or sport fishing, though, so it still looked like picking the one you did for cultural reasons.)

      Seems like those little robot dogs could be something they could hunt instead

      Basing this on animal welfare is going to fuel the right isn’t it?

      You can see the arguments now, banning the hunt (British tradition etc.), on animal welfare grounds but allowing un-stunned slaughter.

      Should have done it as soon as they came in why the delay?

      Seems like a good step forwards, as somebody who lives rurally I really don’t see why we can’t still have people on horses have a day out with drinking and organised route setting, just no hounds or guns so there’s no way to actually hunt. I just hope nothing happens to the dogs now they’re essentially ‘useless’ (they’re not like pets that can be rehomed after all).

      As I said on another Sub

      Trail hunters have brought it on themselves.

      Aside from the high handed approach they always took to other countryside users, that so many trail hunts continued to use genuine foxscent for trails, meaning the hounds often ran after actual foxes, and “accidentally” allow their hounds to run onto private lands, and kill people’s pets meant this was inevitable. This all aside from any deliberate criminality.

      Controlling the hound packs more proactively, and switching to a scent distinct from foxes (like, maybe lemonscenting as often suggested) would have saved them a lot of trouble. Surly malicious compliance often results in this sort of indiscriminate banning, regardless of the issue or target demographics.

      This could have been avoided. Too late now though.

      Speaking as a rural born & raised Brit:

      In terms of shooting to eat/manage or sending a ferret or terrier down to get rabbits etc., this practise is already long prohibited in most places in the UK, even if only de facto. Because it’s rural commoner proles & poors who do it, plus the aforementioned don’t typically own swathes of their own land or have legal access to it. Easier to control us and deprive us.

      It’s only ceremonial sport hunting for toffs that remains. So yes, ban the rich from it as well. It’s only fair. They shouldn’t get exclusive rights over the rest of us to land or to life or to anything.

      About time too.

      Anyone involved in this monstrous abuse is no better than a child killer or a nonce, it’s time we all started treating these scumbags with the contempt they deserve.

      What on earth will all the hunt sabs find to do with their time now?

    15. No_Sign6616 on

      It was part of Labour’s election pledge. The fact they’ve sat on it for so long is a disgrace.
