Fox-hunting is barbaric
DESPICABLE: The only people who could possibly find joy in the ritualistic torture and disembowelment of a small creature are cowards. So it should come as no surprise that it is the despicable Tory toffs who are thinking of lifting the fox-hunting ban, so their friends and family members can participate in the carnage.
What are we doing even discussing this barbaric pastime in the 21st century? God alone knows.
If I don't pay my TV Licence, I'll be prosecuted, whereas if me and a dozen friends mounted on horses, with a pack of a dozen dogs, chase a fox around the countryside for a couple of hours before letting the dogs shred it, that's sport.
These people are clearly lacking in self-belief and morals and should be made to face the full force of the law for this pathetic and bullying behaviour toward these creatures.

“It's time all these desert boot lefty liberal do-gooders stopped whingeing. I have to put up with countless drunken chavtastic morons flooding this city together with idiots who are not the slightest bit patriotic about this are or to this country. Where are these anti fox hunting townees when it comes to stopping this filth?”

“There is no case for repeal. Hunt numbers are up all over the country. Drag hunting is legal. The sense of community, pageantry, heritage, and jobs are all still intact and yet these disgraceful people can¿t manage to enjoy themselves unless they are terrifying and killing animals.
If you support the hunting act, please get your names on the R.O.A.R. (Register Online Against Repeal), an ¿all party¿ list at the Campaign For Decency Org website. Please make your voices heard!”

“Wouldn't it be a rum old world if we all decided that if we didn't like this law or that law we'd just ignore it and do what we want anyway? Well it's happening here and now, the Countryside Alliance and some tory's who I won't dignify as "toffs" because then they'll think I'm jealous of them, have decided that in fact they don't enjoy hunting if they can't kill an animal at the end of it, it isn't the same without the screams and blood at all. So what they've done is go whinging to Cameron of the cold eyes and he's said vote for me chaps and I'll let you kill and rip up foxes, hares, stags oh and a few domestic cats and dogs as well. In fact you can more or less do what you like lads, you can break into nature reserves, run across railways and motorways and pretty much kill anything that moves, in front of children too, if you'll just put a cross next to my name. Can anyone seriously be considering voting for this man of straw? Do we want the Toryside Alliance running our country? I for one shudder at the thought of it.”

“If anything, the Hunting Act needs strengthening so that we can be sure that chasing and killing wild animals for fun is clearly and for ever unlawful and regarded by all with well-deserved revulsion. If they know what's good for them politically, Cameron & Co. should, at the very least, promise to let sleeping dogs lie.”
