but thats just it... its not just that simple. its not just about animal cruelty. this is going to sound so fucking harsh i will probably get banned but unless you have grown up in that society and appreciate that culture you quite possilby wont understand or appreciate why people do this. i am NOT saying you are not.

for every fox saved i reckon there will be well over a couple of thousand hounds that have to be killed... as they will have nowhere to go... unless all those anti hunting people would care to rehome the hounds? there are hundreds of thousands of hounds all over the country... whats going to happen to them?

and no.. i dont think we should bring back the stocks etc... of course not. but how many people have place mats with scenes of a a boxing day hunt? or on tankards? or paintings? it IS culture its tradition. its just so many people dont learn about our culture in england they tend to spend too damned long in mcdonalds.
