Yes enjoy inbred.

Our hounds can do a lot better

Hunters are no heroes, whose feet we are going to lick.

John, you're totally correct.

I honestly don't know,none of this footage was filmed by me.

Tall KnowitAll--Foxes do indeed kill livestock, especially lambs and chickens. If you haven't farmed for a living, it is easy to sympathize with the fox which is still classified as vermin in England. I used to farm, and I did not lose lambs or chickens because I locked them up in the evening--something a farmer with a very large flock cannot do. I actually lost some chickens in broad daylight, although they might have fallen victim to hawks or raccoons as well as foxes.

Bud Savoie so I guess we should torture and kill all prey birds and any other animal that can kill a chicken? A little fox can kill a sheep? Funny thing I saw a wolf trying to kill a sheep and it didn't have enough time before it was scared away. Now a wolf is about 3x the size of a fox and it couldn't take down the sheep before it was scared off. Even if your bull shit narrative of "pest" control was true, there is no need for a bunch of queer men to dress up in tight red coats and chase a poor little fox on horses, with dogs, and guns. Nothing about that is masculine and I'm sure the worlds ecosystem would be just fine without you guys torturing foxes. There's nothing respectable about a person who claims to be a man yet spends his time enjoying torturing animals. You do it because a fox steals your chicken? I'd LOVE to see what you would do if 4 or 5 guys stole your wallet and you didn't have your gun. I bet you wouldn't even try to get it back.

You said it...with proper housing it is possible to keep foxes out of hen houses/runs. Foxes can and do do damage, but the myth that hunting is done to quell numbers is nonsense.The local hunt here [a 'high status' one] has coverts where they allow foxes to breed unmolested all spring and summer to provide the field with ''good sport''.

Tradition and a way of life

It's illegal in Canada. But it still happens here. They claim they are not killing fox however they are exhausting it to literal death and that makes them happy because they are lunatics. They also once told me to keep my dog inside ([ live in very wildlife rich area in the country). I told them to go f t s. This is my property, arrogant fat slobs. Get fk off my land!

​@@daidog5380cruelty is not tradition

@@kevinturner5857 don’t like it don’t watch it you rodent

Jim Nowak yes please can I have some more sir👍🏻

I had a friend (now deceased) who owned a pack of Walkers. He ran them at night, and the music of the hounds was beautiful. The hounds never caught the fox; in fact, some of the hounds run all their lives and never actually see a fox. This is more properly fox "running", not "hunting", since the trailing and the music is the point.

@@uptonsavoie To most people all they hear is a pack of dogs barking but to the hound men it is music to their ears. They know each dogs mouth and know who is leading the pack. I loved listening to them.

Don't hav an orgasm

Matthew Read Yeah I’m sure he-soiled his pants laughing at your reply.. happy hunting

Good t see them hunting u creep 😂👍

Stephan Bodini Probably about as much as the cow I ate for dinner enjoyed being in the slaughterhouse

Sketchy Luke Ah, but eating meat is natural; besides, what would one do with millions of domestic livestock if one stopped eating them? Keep them as pets? I am, of course, totally opposed to intensive, factory farming - but that's an argument for keeping animals in free-range conditions. Read Stephen Budiansky's 'The Covenant of the Wild'

I'll give that book a look sometime. I'm not suggesting it would be a good thing to bring back fox hunting but, whilst it's quite shocking for some to witness, it really doesn't seem any more unnatural to me than eating meat. Letting a pack of dogs hunt is a lot more "natural" than feeding it dog food at home. I live in the countryside and regularly see lots of creatures get torn apart by other animals. Most living things on this planet die in the teeth of something else. Again, I'm not pro-fox hunting, just not particularly against it either.

Sketchy Luke You're right that killing for food is natural - we all do it: even vegetarians (plants don't want to be eaten, either). HOWEVER, the pursuit by a pack of so-called 'fox' hounds of a smaller wild dog is something which would NEVER happen in the wild - note the behaviour of wild canids such as wolves, which specialise in hunting large herbivores such as elk, moose, bison and deer. Besides, killing for meat needn't be inhumane. In addition to the Budiansky, let me recommend Dr Temple Grandin's 'Thinking in Pictures'

***** Not all humanity, just privileged countries like our own. I doubt people experiencing genocide in other parts of the world care much for the ethics of hunting.

So your ferrets bolt every single rabbit do they? Absolute bullshit they do, get off your high horse man, Iv done every type of Field sports including owning and working ferrets, there's cruelty in all hunting, the rabbits are pretty terrified or they wouldn't bolt and when you get a lay up that involves a savagely attacking a rabbit till it manages to get a way to the head where it literally chews the rabbit to death so let's stop this bullshit please.

@@billycrotty4102 iam a lived fella ,boxed in ring and sparred ,ive work pest control for 30 years ,ferreting three ferrets 25 rabbits far from re ality ,30 hounds 20 men horses 4 teirmen look at your film again deeply ,this sertainly donsit like pest co trol to me,apoliyzid for mi spelling ,

@@finchsferrets2390 I can't spell very well myself mate. It isn't pest control your correct you can kill more with 1 lurcher and a lamp but it's nice to see dogs hunting IMO, anyway each to there own ATB.

oh cop on will you its nature.....and much more respected than alot of things going on

hahaha I think you need to spend some more time in school rather than playing with your chickens!! Get to school and get a proper job you thick fuck!!

Many many horse owning country dwellers dislike foxhunting. Instead drag hunting is the way to go, faster, bigger jumps, and no tortured fox at the end.

You're calling people dumb yet don't know how to spell the word, or many others. Pity these hounds can't chase you into a school.

Humans have been killing each other even before the age of domestication. Do You want to be killed because of Your lousy argument?

@@ryanostad8402 nowhere near as big as the one on your head.

@@ryanostad8402 very small it seems.

MORON.

@@ryanostad8402 , You don't understand hunting, that is for sure! Is that the best you can come up with throwing a certain profanity at the end of your sentence? Typical anti !

Healthy for horse and rider? Most of You have not even the time for horseback riding. Most of You are forcing their horses by generating enormous pain into submission. You are fond of everything, which is causing pain to Your horses, but afraid of daily labour. Going for what You call riding 3 times a week for 1 or 2 hours cannot be called riding. In this way You will never get the skill for cross country events. You will not even get the skill to sit on a horse in a barn. The slaughter houses are full of unrideable horses in their best age, who have to pass to make the box free for the next candidate going to be abused.

But to keep the hounds intressed u need a kill

Quite easily as you being a townie its allot more sportsmanship then shooting also I personally wouldnt call it a sport I would call it BLOODY BRILLIANT the face it help waking up to over 100 headless baby lambs Hunting will never be stopped

Fool, Foxes need food too. Do you expect them to suddenly turn into herbivores? It's in a fox's nature to kill lambs, chickens and livestock. It's Nature, I just wish people could learn that. It's starting to piss me off.

Your the one that eats lamb, chicken etc and foxes don't need to be here killing OUR food and OUR pets

I am actually a vegetarian. I barely eat meat.

Meg. I doubt you have woken up to a 100 dead baby lambs now have you. And if you had woken up to that site, then surely you are a shit farmer and should give up. Foxes need food to. But due to hunting, and destruction of the natural eco systems, what are they ment to feed on ? Its humans that have ruined the world and upset the balance and its always the animals that pay the price.
