Red fox are not illegal to hunt here, also we don’t really have wild goats?

[civic yoke]

They're not?

So then what is the info and news talking about Fox hunting then and it being illegal since 2004

Also I don't know the correct terminology for the goats whether they are in fact wild or feral

[short birch]

You can legally shoot foxes here

No permits or anything like that needed

[civic yoke]

I might be talking about the horse riders and the dogs for Fox hunting then

[short birch]

Yes that's probably it, it shouldn't be illegal it's another sh@tty class war thing the labour goverment of the time did to appease their horrid voter base of unhygienic, middle aged hippies with dreadlocks and 15 cats.

[civic yoke]

Do you like the idea at all I know I should be reaching higher but I can't think of anything for a big !WOW!

[short birch]

I feel like I should as I’m from there, but equally no new species. I can’t have a go at people for wanting more American maps that bring nothing new, if I wanted this map to appear!

[civic yoke]

Out of 25 species 10 are new I don't necessarily think it's all that bad actually especially since they're completely new like the Chinese Water Deer and the Muntjac

[south shore]

It's good that horseback fox hunting with hounds is illegal it's a very cruel way to kill these animals

[short birch]

Not really, it’s all very quick and it’s part of my countrysides traditions.

[civic yoke]

How do you kill the fox doing that tradition

[short birch]

With dogs, animals have been used for hunting since the dawn on civilisation

[civic yoke]

Yeah but how do the dogs bite it by the neck or something or what

That was my question I know they use dogs but do they use dogs to kill the Fox or use a gun to put it down

[short birch]

Dogs

[south shore]

Just Couse eating dogs is a tradition somewhere were we don't have to continue it.

[civic yoke]

What do you mean by dogs though I'm asking how do they kill them

[short birch]

The hounds kill them

[short birch]

That’s completely different you muppet, I know your beliefs Janny. I’m not expecting you to understand or get it. None of you live here either so you lack the context + English countryside experience.

[south shore]

My beliefs = not letting foxes get ripped apart by dogs, you just could Normaly trap or shoot them just like every where else

[short birch]

Negative bud, I’ll stick to my traditions

More humane than many forms of hunting including snaring and trapping.

I know we won’t agree, but that’s the joy of discussion.🙃

[civic yoke]

I don't like either trapping doesn't seem right as the animal is trapper for hrs on end sometimes with injuries to their limbs or other parts of their body and getting mauled to death by a dog isn't exactly a " good " time

[molten gazelle]

guys, there is no such thing as peaceful death in nature...

[south shore]

Yes but would you let your dog die a cruel long fight or would you put him to sleep?

[south shore]

Im talking about cage traps, often used for things like minks who are invasive and can't be hunted very well with rifles
