I remembered the name and found him...

They make him look like a saint, but he was a nasty and violent sheet. The FB post misrepresents what actually happened, probably wilfully. At 15 he was bigger than me and when he assaulted me I really had my hands full. No one deserves to die, but he was doing it because he was a nasty sheet who liked to throw his condiderable weight around and not through some altruistic love of foxes. He made his own luck.

Perfectly put. We feed our local foxes, too, and are happy to do so. We often stay up late to watch them eat and are sometimes treated to seeing them play. They have never even gone near our cat when he's been out and used to walk right past him as if he wasn't there.

The day that joke 'trail' hunting is banned can't come soon enough.

I do hope so called trail hunting does become against the law, as the bill still has a few political hurdles to pass yet! As we know, they are using trail hunting to still hunt foxes. I've seen the evidence on upsetting online posted videos, posted mainly by hunt sabatours. Then you get the pro hunting mob posting horrible stuff about how foxes are 'vermin' and 'the only good fox is a dead one' blah blah. They really are a sadistic bunch! I post my hatred towards them, calling them inbreds, low IQ freaks etc. The only vermin I see are those in red coats on horseback, and their horrible lackey 'terrier men'! 👎

If foxes are killing your domestic farm animals shoot them. It’s far more effective than wearing fancy dress, siting on a horse and chasing them across miles of farm land.
Thats unless you are breeding foxes and releasing them for the chase.
Which sort doesn’t really work with the statements you are hunting them because they are threat to your animals as you have raised them along side your farm animals.🤯🤯🤯🤯

I’m wondering if there might be a silver lining to Accy’s throwing food out for the foxes. So the rats go for the food and then foxes catch the rats and everybody’s happy.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well yes, that isn't my intention, but if it happens then in a way it does keep the rat population down. Those who criticise me for 'chucking dog food all over', for chucking dog food all over see throwing dried all in one dog biscuits here and there, I wonder how they feel about all the filthy back streets we see, strewn with burst open bin bags, with their contents strewn all over! Takeaways are the main culprits, plus those who buy the stuff on their way home from a night out then drop the stuff when they've had enough. To me, that encourages rats far more than my few handfuls of dried dog biscuits!

We could make all parties happy by trailing a politician but going slowly so the hounds always catch up.

I used to know someone who was a member of a local hunt
it was not one of the lot we see with red coats and all that - just local people on horses riding around after dogs

thing is - they never caught a fox (it was legal then) - the dog found one once and chased it but never caught it and it caused chaos as no-one knew what to do

I reckon they would have been very happy to swap to train hunting

He said the reason they never saw a fox was because if any fox was causing a problem then no farmer would wait - possibly many months - for the Hunt to come round and maybe catch it - they would go out witha gun themselves as soon as possible



Round here there must be foxes - there is a stream over out back fence and then about 50 yards away mostly through trees
and on the other side is a big abandoned golf course that is just left to grow wild
so foxes MUST be around there

but we never see any

at least they are safe from any hunting!!

The majority of foxes have gone urban. Myself and Mrs W went to see Bruce Springsteen at Hamden Park and we were unable to get a taxi back to our accommodation so we had leg it across Glasgow. We must have 20 plus foxes on our travels.
Yet here in North Yorkshire surrounded by farm land I have yet to see one and similar in rural East Yorkshire. Yet go in to to outskirts of Kingston of Dull and there’s dozens of them.

I think that the higher echelons of the police use them to put up their noses so they can’t smell the corruption when they out riding or shooting with their well dodgy hunting mates.😱

This is why the plod are inept in dealing with illegal fox hunting! I've always said the 'chief inspector will be on the back of a horse!
