# 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.

# If you count modern camoflage and sometimes silenced weapons.
Far more cruelty occurs to produce cheap meat.

# It made jobs for the people who "didn't breed" foxes for Prince Charles' hunts

Like the royal sociopaths who warred, pillaged and enslaved to get where they are today.
