Fox Hunting good or bad?

I live on a farm, foxes have never come near our chickens!
Our house is outlooking a small field with badgers and foxes at the end of it, the chicken arc is close to the foxes den. The chickens are (they are shut away at night) and we have had no bother, so far. The origanal hunting that was actularly needed to keep the fox population down was OK. I find that the purpose of hunting has turned from a job in to a hobby that many people take part in not because they need to keep the fox population down but because it is "FUN" personly i cannot see how killing an animal in th emost horrific way can be fun.. People that enjoy animals suffering are very unconciderate, i always think that if the animal has not harmed anything it is free to roam. Some people say foxes are pests and should be culled but as it was pointed out in my last article we are at the top of the food chain and if that is correct foxes are near the top and as they are a predator they eat meat by killing. If you yourself eat meat than you cannot say a fox should not eat a chicken or such like, because you or anyone else own them. They do NOT understand right and wrong, if they are hungary they will kill and i shall stick up for their right to kill animals. its how the world works. Hunt activists say that if there was a complete ban of hunting they would have to kill hundreds of hounds so it would be practicaly the same as hunting in inself. What they fail to mention is that if the hound is not quite keeping up with the others or is a bit cheeky they would kill that hound to save resources and money. My brother and me have now joined the sabs in our local area. I think that some of the stuff that the sabs do to get their point accros is equally bad as hunting in its self. Some of the sabs are to wraped up in helping the foxes that they forget that the horses and equally the people are animals also. This violent protest is unneccery and disgusting. On that point pro hunt people do just as many disgusting things back to the sabs, like ploughing their horses over one of the sabs (they died in this case) a few years ago and whipping them. There is no need for nasty behaviour i believe. in my view hunting should be banned fully and the law inforced not ingnored when people break it.

When i went to look for picture in google most of them were to graphic and disturbing to put on. I found this hunting picture of a sab called David who had been attacked by hunting people.
