oh dear, comparing horses to men is always going to end in tears.
The horses will always win, hands down!

pmsl. ok ok sorry were way off topic... back to hunting... should the breeding of hounds now be stopped?
As long as hunts work within the law, I see no reason for it to be stopped.
It would also be intering to read opinions on Francis Burton's earlier post.....

It's clear that nobody pro hunting in their right mind would favour this, because it's all about entertainment and nothing to do with pest control or conservation.
Oh,here we go again,and its only 12.10!
All im gonna say is lots of folk must have get up on the wrong side of the bed today.
Just because someone gives their honest opinion and it doesn't fit in with your trail of thoughts, doesn't neccesarily mean they got up on the wrong side of the bed.
hedgehunter, what's your views on the question?

If you look at the body weight of a fox---lean and sleek,then look at the body weight of a foxhound--stocky.Therefore any fox that cannot outrun a hound must have had problems health wise anyway which brings me to the kill---When a fox is killed by a pack of hounds the weight of the hounds running into mr fox usually knocks him out anyway-then a nip on the back of the neck finishes him off within seconds!--non of this shredding lark!
In my opinion a fox is more likly to be killed quicker than shooting as there is a chance that you dont shoot it in the right place and so it suffers.
Survival of the fittest.Have you ever seen a fox dieing of mange/...not nice!
C'mon, can't you do any better than that?
No i carnt....as with many other folk all around the world i have 2 horses to get ready for HUNTING tomorrow.
TALLY HO!!!!!!!!!

That doesn't follow. I weigh a lot less than Usain Bolt, but that doesn't mean I can outrun him. And fox spotted and shot is hardly comparable to fox chased relentlessly for several miles and then either torn to shreds or not as the case may be timewise. If I was a fox I know which way I'd rather go.
Either they're a pest that needs eradicating or you're conserving them for your amusement, you can't have it both ways

In which case it's probably better not to post rather than cast aspersions at people who disagree with you
That is not always the case, last night at the yard i was speaking to some people who have been on a hunt, they know im anti but we managed a gentle talk on it, and one girl told me that she wont go again as the last one they actually dug the fox out of there den after being chased miles and then the fox got ripped apart!!! so its not the survival of the fittest at all, its a blood sport and hunters will do anything to see the fox or animal suffer!
Maybe i should get rid of ALL of my animals/pets if i would do anything to see them suffer?
I agree foxes are faster, but they don’t have the stamina of a foxhound. This means that although the fox can initially outrun the hounds, it always becomes exhausted much sooner.
I’m surprised you didn’t know hounds where bred for their stamina.
Not true in every case!!!!!
There's scientific proof that hounds DO NOT kill every fox by a quick "nip" to the back of the neck...some foxes DO suffer an agonising death.
But there is also scientific eveidence that the adrenalin from being chased acts as a very strong pain killer so the 'agonising death' argument is rubbish. I know of several people who have injured themselves horrifically, including lopping off limbs, but not felt any pain due to the adrenaline rush.
OH silly me,who am i to know anything about hounds??????????
Sarcastic comments like that are what causes pathetic rows on here.
