Custom that is integral to gentrified British society - mainly because it lets you know that posh peole are out of their houses.
Hippies do not realise the importance of this aspect and the income it provides for serfs.

Fox Hunting is enjoyed by bugle players. The bugle is to signal that the family silver is up for grabs.

An activity that involves people who have no understanding of animal welfare letting dogs chase a fox through the countryside while they ride on their horses. People often assume that only the injured and sick foxes are killed, but that is untrue as even a healthy fox would find it difficult to escape the hounds. Not to mention that if the fox escapes underground (Goes to ground) it is dug up then killed and it wouldn't make any sense to be killing old and sick foxes as if fox hunting was pest control they wouldn't want to be killing old and sick foxes as healthy foxes would live and would be more of a damage than sick and old ones. "Quick nip to the back of the neck" is another excuse used by fox hunters. Autopsies by vets have shown that the death is not a quick one. Unfortunately years after the hunting ban foxes are still being killed by dogs yet nothing is being done about this nor are there many prosecutions probably due to the fact that trail hunting is used as an excuse to cover up their actions. Another part of fox hunting is "terrier work" this involves sending a terrier down a fox den to flush or corner the fox, this often leads to the dog and fox being injured in the process and it may take hours for the fox to be dug up. Fox hunts have also been known to catch foxes or steal cubs and release them on hunt days as this would give a bigger chance of a kill. Another hidden secret of fox hunting is that hounds are killed when they are too old to chase.

Hunting a fox through the countryside with hounds and horses. A fantastically exciting sport if organised properly.
First fox hunt in England was in 1534, fox hunting is a tradition that goes back many many years.
Chavs hate it as they are incapable of riding horses and cannot afford to leave the cities they are crammed into.
Tally ho!

Fox hunting is a much misunderstood thing. Hounds will not be sent down after a fox because lets face it, they're just slightly too big!
The hunt generally kills off the older or weaker foxes, as a healthy fox can easily outrun them. These older and weaker foxes are the ones more likely to kill chickens and the such as they cannot find food any other way.
With the ban of hunting, the culling of foxes will not stop. Since the population is not controlled by the hunt, more people will start shooting them, which can lead to injuries as a moving target is quite hard to kill cleanly. Also, it will be the healthier foxes that are culled aswell. People might even start snaring again, which a particularly cruel way of dealing with vermin and dangerous to other animals, but what other choices are there?
I am not an upperclass "toff".
I have seen the way anti-hunt protesters have behaved towards hunters, for example a small girl on horseback was surrounded by jeering antis and terrified. People have had their tyres deflated or cars scratched for supporting a rural service which few of the antis understand.
Get your facts right, give a worthwhile arguement, and then we might take you seriously.

I cannot understand this activitiy. Innocent lives are taken. A sport is fair, refereed, this is a free-for-all in the name of nothing. Some may misinterperate this as putting animals above humans, it's not it is giving them a chance to live the life they have been given without it being wrecked.

Fox hunting was not invented as a sport or as a way of controlling the fox population. It was invented so the local lairds could ride roughshod all over the land of the local peasants and constantly remind them who is boss. Farmers and the like I know of hate fox hunting, as the hunt tramples through their fields and the hounds kill their family pets. The modern fox hunters are not landed gentry, contrary to popular belief. Anyone can go on a fox hunt. Most are townie executives and the like having a thrill playing at huntsmen. I'm not a lunatic leftie, just for the record. I think a lot of what the anti-hunters do is disgusting. But at the same time shooting perfectly healthy dogs and smearing animal blood all over your face is hardly the apex of civilized society. Oh, and let's be honest about Tony Bliar and his puppet-masters. They didn't ban fox-hunting because they are kind and caring people. They banned it because they see the countryside as Tory territory (just like the South-eastern areas of England they are planning to turn into a concrete wilderness) and therefore the enemy.
Prince Charles went fox hunting. This is the man who is constantly ranting about how nasty people are to animals? And some people wonder why the royals are regarded as a joke by so many people.
