I'm a city person
so watched the debate unfold with no real pre-conceptions. What became clear was that the pro-hunt brigade constantly changed thier arguments. One minute it was essential vermin control, the next it was a way of life, then a sport, then a tradition, then an essential employer.
If a fox is causing a farmer trouble, he can legally kill it. I have no problem with that. But when i found out people allowed and encouraged foxes to breed so they would have something to hunt... Sorry, all arguements collapse. If you are doing it for fun, admit it and argue your point. If you need them wiped out, admit it and argue your point. If you try to do both, you look very silly to us fence sitters.
