And, half starved terrriers? Ah here, google the laois hounds, and then tell me they're half starved.....idiot
..you'd take to the field and set the hounds after the Drumcondra fox bertie...the shagger has gone to ground...like all good vermin.
Your emphasis seems to be on riding and jumping fences so why don't you just stick to that? And leave the wildlife alone, ffs! Your so-called sport is the pursuit of the hater of the countyside, not a pastime of people who love Nature. It is the sport of conquest and colonialism.
Grow up and develop some empathy for other species. The foxes, you and your neighbours will be the happier for it.

I had the unpleasant experience of seeing exactly this happen to a vixen and her cubs at the age of 12. Afterwards the blood from the tail was smeared all over the faces of younger children out riding for the first time with the hunt. A Sickening and primitve display of humankind at it's basest and I'll never forget the horror of it.
Indeed they do though Tara don't they though?
Ah they do indeed, just to get the young hounds used to the scent of the fox you know, and the taste of blood-how else do the dogs know what scent to chase on the day of the hunt. Why don't some of the dogs chase a rabbit, some chase cows and others go on a wild goose chase?
"I dunno what hunt the Author is on about"
There are plenty of videos on tinternet of foxes and badgers being dug out and ripped apart-the young people do upload them so they do...Why don't you watch them? Bet you haven't got the stomach for them. PM me your address and I'll forward on a DVD, or you can ask John Fitzgerald at ICABS yerself. I dare you...
This really sadens me
Foxes are such beautiful creatures.
Do not they have hard enough lives trying to find food, suffering the freezing cold, and fending for themselves... that this losers have to spend their time chasing and murdering them?
It worried me how cruel and twisted some people are
Sick and evil people, if there is a hell I hope these will be hunted
Read this and understand that in nature there are predators and victims. No sentimental compassion is shown.
