Fox hunting is good preparation for a nucleaur holocaust or meteor strike ? Fox hounds quite obviously aren't wolves, selective breeding by humans has dealt with that. Bred for a purpose, and selectively knocked off by humans at half their natural lifespan.

The sport is simply a human organised fight between two species, nothing more nothing less. It has no parallel in nature at all and the dogs do not get on simply with their lives as before. They are bred for the purpose of killing and when their purpose is done they are destroyed. It's a...

I never really had much to think about fox hunting, but was generally being against and brought up in the country where hunting took place. My family living in the country all their lives have always been against it. However around the time of the ban, I became intrigued about the hounds...
