And how many of the foxes that are killed by hounds actually make it to the table?
It's killing things for fun. The pro-hunting lobby will tell you it's about pest-control but in the next breath they'll tell you they hardly ever catch anything and it's all about the socialising and the sport.

If it's about pest-control, it's incredibly inefficient and inhumane. If it's about sport, what's wrong with drag-hunting instead of packs of hounds ripping small mammals apart?
