I was going to reply Pino, as I disagree with some things, but I guess if I do I'd get banned? - So much for a 'forum'. I think some people forget the meaning of the word unfortunately. Or wait for it, is this going to be construed as a personal attack? :dozey:
Reply as much as you want as long you stick to the topic which is Fox Hunting !Quote:

Not all farmers grow crops.
Take my brothers farm as a case. This year he has had over 700 lambs. The average value of a lamb is around £30. If 5% are killed by predators, then thats over £1000 lost every year.
What other points do you want me look at? The only other points you've made (unless I've missed something) is about how its unpractical to have buildings to protect your chickens. And yes...it is.
Do you think the hunting of tigers, of polar bears, or dolphins is just as acceptable as fox hunting then? Afterall, people who kill those animals are doing it for a living. People fox hunting are doing it for their own pleasure.
Inflicting cruelty on an animal for your own personal pleasure - for me - that's wrong.
Pino, we're not allowed to point out someone's hypocrisy then? :(
If I may I should like to add my own humble take on this rather fraught topic :)
In an earlier post Eki stated quite categorically that foxes do not have super powers.
Well I have because I am none other than Fashion Disaster Beef Stock Warrior and if you don't stop shouting at each other and referring to having sexual relations with beasts of the field I will have no other choice than to shlep over to the nearest phonebox and don a diamond pattern sleeveless pullover, a pair of World War Two American General trousers and skin diver's flippers before spraying you all right in the face with scalding beef stock.
Nice bit of Fox liver for tea tonight.
Go down nice with a bit of Spanish Fighting Bull pate that will.

Foxes aren't an endangered species and my brother IS trying to make a living.Quote:

Yeah well, your brother should blame his customers and not the foxes if he fails to do it.Quote:

Because they aren't ready to pay more for your brother to protect his livelihood or cover his potential losses because of the foxes.Quote:
