Yes, if it's for s pointless sport. Hunting rabbits etc for food isn't cruel because the rabbit is shot and dies instantly, it isn't attacked and ripped to pieces by large dogs, just imagine the pain the fox goes through for the "fun" of these hunters.
A few weeks ago, a man was arrested for taking a scissors to a dog's ears, he's now in prison for animal cruelty, is this any different to fox hunting?

Dyolf,
I actually agree with you on the pointless sport part and especially the shot and dies instantly....
I'm with you.

Sorry about the arguing thing, but I feel very strongly about fox hunting, and I get worked up over it.

I am not a hunter and never have been, I agree with the ban on fox hunting. I also agree that this is hypicrtical but I find that that is the way it is with the far left extremists their all for the cause as long as you agree with them if not they get all worked up and give it the dreaded "protest". I really wish the cele types would just stick to performing on stage. Let the performance speak for you IE..songs etc.
Oh well just my opinion.
Have a good one
KC

Quote:Banning hunting is not progress, it is bending to liberal PC BS.
Oh, puh-LEASE! Dude, I don't know if you've been living under a rock for the past several years or what, but that "liberal" dog don't bite no more. Also, in the age of "freedom fries," it's kind of amusing to blame PC on "liberals" anymore.
Plus, who exactly is talking about banning all hunting here? As pointed out by other posters here, there is a BIG difference between banning normal hunting and banning blood sports.
I'm a liberal who grew up hunting myself, and here's my middle-of-the-road perspective: when I was growing up, my parents had a rule: you kill it, you eat it. We lived on a little, rural island where the predators had been eliminated in the 1800's, and if the deer were not hunted, they would get sickly and starve. My family was not rich, and to me, hunting made sense: it put food on the table, and it was ultimately kinder to the deer. Sure, it would be better in a way if the island had been allowed to remain in a pristine state, predators and all, but who's to say that a bullet to the head is a worse way to die than been caught and torn to bits by a predator???
I think that there is a good argument for not eating meat at all, so I'll listen to vegetarians, but it does crack me up when people who eat meat from the supermarket get down on people who hunt for their food. When you look at conditions in slaughterhouses in the US, hunting is FAR more humane. A bullet is far kinder than being clubbed to death, and that's to say nothing of the cruelty of raising animals in cages the size of their own bodies. Hunting for food is way LESS cruel than eating normal supermarket meat.
On the other hand, blood-sports like fox-hunting are cruel, inhumane, and cowardly. Bear-baiting, for example--where is the sport in that? You won't hear me wasting any energy defending blood-sports.

Interesting, A liberal who agrees with Ted Nugent.
& the Liberal dog DOES bite. Has ruined the boyscouts in Canada, & working hard on it here in USA.

Along these lines, a new book has come out which contains a study that shows that Conservatives give 30% more on average to charities, ( non religious ones). Even poor Conservative families the percentage remains constant.
Heard the cat on the radio, he said; If it weren't for church going Conservatives, there would be no PTA, no Boy Scouts etc. A sad vision it paints if the larger percentage of American society were Liberal.

The title of compassionate conservative may fall into disuse after this fallout of this book.

I agree with the hunting for food points, after all, we're animals ourselves. Hunting deer, rabbits etc is ok for food when people kill what they need to eat, and it's probably healthier than what you get at supermarkets.
I can see no good reason for blood-sports, it's cruel, inhumane and should be totally banned, at least in the UK.
