# sport?

# So they call it anyway.
I see it more as an upper-class dick measuring contest.
You know, the kind that can only feel like they're worth a shit when they're needlessly killing small orange animals.

# There used to be quite a bit of fox hunting round where I grew up
There's nothing better than being forced to avoid half the tracks because a bunch of chinless inbreeds might go charging along with a pack of stoked up dogs, in chase of a fox which was almost certainly illegally bred for the purpose.

Well, there is one thing better, and that's coming up to the woods in thick mist and realising that about twenty metres in front of you are a bunch of moronic chinless inbreeds shooting ACROSS THE FUCKING PATH IN THICK MIST at pheasants they most definitely cannot see. Fucking idiots, in any sensible country the cunts would be locked away for endangering life and ideally beaten to fuck in the cells. But no, this is Britain, so we congratulate them and slap them on their backs and pay a fortune for the police to mark out the routes of their fox "hunting".

# Disgusting.
And they say it's all well and good in the country? Not when you've got these ponces still living in the 18th century, murdering animals for no good reason, other than "sport". Fucking savages. They ought to be hunted down themselves, let's see how fast they can run.
The foxes living in the city have it better.

# I'd normally argue against such savagry
but frankly growing up with one of Britain's largest landowners a few miles down the road (and refusing one of the local villages planning permission to build a pub for no good reason - he's been dead quite a while now, but still no pub) makes me think it wouldn't be the worst idea.

What's even worse are the people who go along fox hunting. Not all of them are even all that wealthy - from my limited experience they *are* social climbers though. Though my experience is limited; I didn't exactly mix in such circles, which is probably quite obvious.

# Just one reason I won't be moving out of the city any time soon.
From what I've seen and heard, participating in fox hunting is a sort of social status; if you've been, you're one of the guys, which some people are under the delusion of that being a good thing. I'd never want to associate with that kind of social circle, one that is so shallow as to think that going out and killing animals does the country any good.

# Well, one good thing
is that so far as I can tell, around where I'm from it's all stopped. And, surprisingly enough, the countryside hasn't collapsed, people still have jobs -- well, as much as anyone does these days -- and farmers aren't finding their sheep ripped to shreds by hordes of marauding foxes.

# With the security measures farmers are likely to have now
not many fox-related incidents are going to be taking place. I remember jobs being one of the main arguments for fox hunting, which is pretty redundant... how would fox hunting create jobs? It's a crap excuse with nothing to back it up. The countryside's doing just fine without it.

# Whilst I mostly agree with what both of you are saying.
I've heard of the 'shooters' that some farmers use instead,
they kill as many animals as possible for fun, not just foxes.
We hear them occasionally.

# This is not something of whch I approve, but at least they don't dress up in ridiculous clothes
and set a pack of ten dogs against a fox, accompanied by ten or fifteen braying lackwits on horses.

Well, I assume they don't.
