Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
My understanding is that there has been a constant and high percentage majority in surveys since the fox hunting ban came in to keep it.
https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics...remain-illegal
However if those in high profile positions aren't complying with the trail hunting rules it does need to be reviewed as to whether a complete ban is how needed

A prominent huntsman has been ordered to pay £3,500 for giving advice to countrymen about how to covertly carry out illegal fox hunts.
Mark Hankinson, the 60-year-old director of the Masters of Foxhounds Association, was found guilty at Westminster Magistrates' Court of encouraging or assisting others to commit an offence.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
Banning trial hunting because some people abuse it seems very much like "stick it to them" nonsense.
Its like wanting to ban streaming TV because some people abuse it to watch stuff illegally.

For me there is no need for trail hunting to exist anymore. Trail hunting keeps the dogs following animal scents. Although I can see why this would have been helpful for dogs already trained at the point of the ban, there isn't a need for it now.
Drag hunting was already a thing before the fox hunting ban but doesn't use an animal scent and from my understanding rarely ends up with the dogs going after animals.

So if the argument is about the historical traditions and social aspects of the hunts rather than the animals bring chased, then drag hunting achieves those aims.

For me there is no need for many things to exist, it doesnt mean I go around trying to ban them.

Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting
Saw a terrified deer being chased by a dog today, and the fat irresponsible owner trying comically to chase the dog.
Think the dog owner came off worse looked to be on the verge or a heart attack, like the deer. The dog had a brilliant time, but eventually was knackered/lost interest.
Entertainment? Or 2 senseless animals and a lucky deer?
