The biggest problem and the biggest threat to wildlife isn’t hunting it’s rifle shooting with thermal technology! Hunts hardly catch any foxes but the trigger happy vile scumbags with the rifles are shooting that many that foxes are almost extinct in some rural areas it really is a total disgrace! 1 man with the right setup will shoot more foxes in a week than a hunt will in a full season! They’re also shooting the badgers while they’re out and there’s never been so few animals about as there is now and it’s all down to shooting! If you really want to do good things for the fox and badger populations then it’s shooting that you need to look at more than the hunting! Check it out on YouTube it’s absolutely rife watch team foxer total idiot! They’re shooting them when they’re in cub and shooting lactating vixens and leaving cubs to starve they really are getting persecuted trust me ! And a lot of the atrocities going on at nighttime are linked to pheasant shoots. SHOOTING IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN THE COUNTRYSIDE NOT HUNTING!
So what’s worse chasing an odd fox that normally gets away or shooting 10-15-20 per night 3 or 4 nights a week ? Fox numbers are at an all time low due to overshooting and nothing else ! What was worse in the Second World War an odd soldier getting shot or hitler with his gas chambers? The gas chambers are more humane! But way more of an atrocity! Shooting is just greedy persecution of native wildlife and nothing more and foxes are getting rare in urban areas. The problem is that the general public doesn’t know what’s really going on out there or there would be hell up ! It need’s putting out there better for all to see !
I don’t like hunting either but people need to wake up and realise the numbers getting shot which is the biggest threat to the fox and badger populations. This shooting is just unsustainable persecution! It’s sad times when you’ve got more chance of seeing a fox in towns and cities than you have in the countryside and it’s all due to rifle shooting which is directly linked to pheasant shooting.
But everybody jumps on hunting at every opportunity but everyone needs to change their approach and give the shoots more grief because it’s them that are responsible for the demise of the fox ! There’s just none about anymore and it’s all down to rifle shooting! At least hunts have seasons and they have enough respect for the quarry they’re hunting to less as be them alone to breed more foxes. This rifle shooting is 24/7/365 and I recon for every fox that gets hunted there’s a thousand getting shot it really is that bad ! I have a mate who used to hunt his beagles and he’s packed in because he just couldn’t find any foxes during the season because they’ve all been shot. It’s just mass slaughter and persecution trust me !
Any killing or hunting , is wrong ! Shooting is or should be a crime !! Shooting a pregnant fox is a crime in my book and its a crime against nature for sure !!
Sadly Suffolk PCC retained his position, a Tory who is an intensive farmer and consults on that too. He assures me he will ensure the law on hunting is enforced- well he hasn’t done that in the last three terms of 12 years! Many more people voted against him but got 300 more votes than the Labour candidate 😢
I'm sorry but I won't trust labour as far as I could toss them. I was a hunt saboteur back in the early eighties & we had thatcher & then gormless John major. Then we had let's bomb iraqi bastard tony blair followed by Gordon is a moron, that led to the shower we have now. OK labour brought in a kind of ban on hunting, but considering starmer (jimmy Saville) & his love of thatcher & the guidance of war criminal blair, 🤔 I wouldn't expect much from these cretins when it comes to protecting wildlife, after all they don't won't to upset the upper classes or that idiot King of ours
I do not understand how someone can say shooting an animal is worse than hunting it, surely it should all be banned, as should guns. No one needs a gun unless they want to kill something, or someone. But who wants to chase an animal on horseback unless they hope to kill it.

I agree, but chasing animals for hours to then be shot or ripped apart is barbaric. What is it with all this killing and bloodlust?

I don’t like any of it. Totally against hunting - all of it, just panders to a perverted bloodlust of a few psychopaths

I’m not disputing that at all

Let’s hope it’s good news for all those poor creatures.

TORIES, HUNTERS AND THE FILTH, ARE ABSOLUTE SCUM.

NEVER TRUST POLITICIANS/COUNCILLORS THEY SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR THEN FIND REASONS TO GO BACK ON THEIR WORD
