Execute rich people (and their lickspittle apologists) living in the countryside by hunting them down with big dogs, for a laugh. Televise it.

I think its disgraceful to be honest and I agree with BCP. We should set up a game show in the style of that great Arnie movie 'the running man'.

 

You could dress up convicts in bix Fox fancy dress suits and basically have them chase them and kill for all of our pleasure.

 

I'd defo get the popcorn in for that.

Yeah and give them a good birching first - to teach them respect for the law. Any of them that engage in protests should be rounded up and shipped to Guantanamo Bay - and their Range Rovers etc confiscated and given to the poor.

Hunting for sport should be banned, but hunting for food or furs is fine. I don't profess o know the ins-and-outs of the British fox hunt, but it seems like a bunch of uppity nobles living off the taxpayers (peasants) or past fortunes tally-ho-ing around what little countryside (England pop 60M?) you lot have left.

 

I've been on a caribou hunt with the Inuit and it's an awesome experience, as that is their main food source. Their beliefs revolve arouing the Creator giving them the caribou to sustain them, clothe them and if it is abused (killing for fun, wasting food provided by the animal) than the Creator will send the caribou on a different migration and starvation will ensue.

 

I reckon none of thos pompous twits with their hounds need the fox for food sustinance.

 

I'm sure Hermes is all for it, in fact he's probably practicing right now, pegging off those red squirells in the sanctuary where Coleen threw Shreks ring. Hermes the Greek god of poaching.

Personally I cannot understand why people enjoy badger baiting, it's not half as much fun as masturbating.

[Nunavut Patrick]

....or he's masturbating.

Patrick, there was a report in one of the Sunday papers that a Canadian travel company is contacting all of the british fox hunting clubs, asking if they would like to holiday in Canada-shooting grizlies. Any truth in this?

[Nunavut Patrick]

Most likely true. Where I used to live in Nunavut, the community was allowed to harvets 20 polar bears. There was a big gathering at the hall and the town elder (or leader of the Hunter and Trappers Organization) drew names. The first five names were permitted to sell their lots (or tags) to big-game hunters who would then fly up during bear season (Nov-Dec) and pay $20 000 USD for a guide and the bear. THe Inuit called it 'Polar Bear Bingo Night' , as the tag was worth $5 000 USD (the other 15G's went towards airfare/lodging/guide/supplies). One year the Mexican vice-president came up, with an entourage. Fuckin' hillarious seeing all these Mexican blokes about in -30C temperatures.

 

As for the grizzilies, no doubt they are marketing it to them.It's big money. I know hunting longhorn rams in the Rockies is big among the Yanks, they pay dearly for the trophy. Most of the grizzly bear population is on the West Coast/Yukon, so I haven't heard about it. However, if you've got a decent club, the seal hunt stars in a month or two- could always use an extra clubber.

I think shooting intelligent animals is abhorrent. Why travel to Canada to shoot grizzlies when you can travel to Gleneagles in July and shoot hippies, students and communists. Much more fun.

[Nunavut Patrick]

Doesn't matter, North Korea has the bomb, we're all doomed. We can only hope their aim is bad.

 

It's only a matter of time before North Korea, Iran, Libya or even Israel use nukes. It's only been 60 years since the last (and only) one, and more and more countries have the capability. Another thing to blame the Americans for.

[Tom R]

Nothing against killing foxes, they're a fucking menace. But there's absolutely no need whatsoever for the gay panto that goes with it all.

 

Shoot them in the face or use traps or poison. Why use horses, tight trousers and trumpets? I'd be embarassed tbh.

[cochcaer]

Modern farming will probably destroy their habitat eventually anyway. I know some farmers who don't want hunts going across their land but they're virtually blackmailed into doing so.

 

If you wanna dress up like a knob and chase sommit go drag hunting and leave pest control to the civilized professionals.

Is that where they dress up as Danny La Rue or Paul O'Grady ? - don't they look stupid enough already ??

LOL!

[Stouffer]

Anybody take part in a Christmas hunt?

 

It's something I'll never understand.

[Nunavut Patrick]

What the fuck ever happened to BCP?

[Funkasy]

if its for food or clothing im okey with it. there are whaling activists on the faroe islands every year telling us how horrible and cruel it is that we eat whales. why is it more horrible eating a whale then a chicken ? 

[Strontium]

Couldn't give much of a shit about it either way. Find it hard to get wound up about a few dozen mangy foxes getting a taste of their own medicine when cows, pigs, chickens etc are slaughtered in industrial quantities.

[Jairzinho]

Torturing animals for sport. What a fucking great species we are.

[cloggypop]

It's all about class war for me. If I can't stop the fox hunting I'm going to bring bear baiting back.

[Jairzinho]

I'm going to start knocking out swans.

[Dr Nowt]

Bottling a dog's the thing round our way.

 

It's sweet as mate.

‘I wanted to see what is tasted like’ Man fined for killing and EATING Queen’s swan A MAN filmed beheading a swan admitted that he did not recognise the species of the bird but "wanted to see what it tasted like".

 

Hasan Fidan, 46, was photographed by angler Bob Morris leaping over the fence at Bennett's Lake, Kent, before quickly beheading and cramming the swan into his blood-red backpack.

 

Mr Morris, 64, said: "I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I tried to take his rucksack from him, but he grabbed it and ran off"

 

Officers traced Fidan to his Kent home and discovered the diced remains of the bird amongst food in his freezer.

 

Last week Sevenoaks magistrates' court fined Fidan a total of £215 after he admitted to a single count of killing a wild bird under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.

 

Under legislation dating back to the 12th Century all mute swans belong to the Monarch - a fact of which Turkish born Fidan admits he was unaware.

Unemployed Fidan, who has lived in Britain since 2006, said: “I did not know what type of bird it was. For me it was any type of bird. I didn't know the Queen owned them.

 

"I like the Queen very much. The moment the police told me what I did was wrong, I said I was sorry."

 

He added: "I took it (the swan) home, I took out the feathers, I cut it up and ate some of it. I wanted to see what it tasted like. It tasted nice. 

"I put the rest in the freezer. 

 

"When the police came to me and asked me if I had killed a bird, I said yes. I did not realise it was wrong. The police took away what was left in my freezer.

 

"I am sorry to everyone. I have been to court. I will pay my fine."

 

Fidan will be required to pay a £110 fine, with £85 in court courts and an additional £20 victim surcharge as his two remaining charges including another count of killing a wild bird and theft of a wild animal were both dropped by the magistrates court.
