Fox Hunting

[bumcheekcity]

Simple question really. Is fox hunting immoral?

It might a thing for the UK residents, but everyone can post their two cents/pennies/euros.

How is it worse than any other type of hunting?

One of the defining diffrences between this and other hunting is that these distiquished people would never think of eating something they had to hunt themselves. Plus it shows off how big guys make themselves feel even bigger. They completly stack the odds in their favor and then get pride from the victory.
Hunting if your going to eat it is ok, theres nothing morally wrong with that. We havent evolved into sterile beings beyond the circle of life. If you think you have then join your buddies at the fox hunt.

The argument goes that it forces poor little foxes to be torn apart (literally) by a pack of dogs, and thats cruel. The British Aristocracy don't give a stuff though.

Being across the Atlantic, I don't know much of it. However, if they don't eat it, they shouldn't hunt it.

I think there's nothing wrong with it. The whole lot looks more like a OMG I HAIT U thing than a truly PETA-worthy cause...

WHAT AM I SAYING??? PETA are a bunch of freaks anyway.

Absolutely not. It's completely alright. Although it's hard as hell. Bill O' Reily can smell a trap from a mile away.

Wait, you didn't mean Fox News hunting, did you? :-)

It's just another one of those "sports". I mean, it's ridiculous overkill, that's all, not immoral or anything, it's just stupid and expensive. Like, really expensive. It's like having your own hockey team, but to hunt some small canine and get it shredded by more bigger canine. But english people are know to love dogs. Just not foxes.

I would consider it unnessecary because theres no point in killing something if your'e not going to use it(no, trophys dont count). It might've tought otherwise 100 years ago, but now with televbision and computers, there's no need to kill things just for entertainment. Something that might change my view on this subject is if foxes are considered pests or not, yknow like wolwes for eating cattle or something around those lines.
