There's nothing wrong with scaring the **** out of a defensless fox, chasing it with a pack of 30 larger dogs than it is followed by a bunch of upper class tits on horses wielding guns?
Yeah, how about I round you up with some pitbull's and let them rip you to bits?

I saw Roger speak about this in an interview, he said that he was against the ban because he felt like it was the government trying to unfairly stamp out the fun of the 'country folk' because they didn't understand their way of life. He said it wasn't a total ban, you can have your dogs chase after it, but once you catch it you have to shoot it & not let the dogs eat it (I think-I'd have to watch it again to be certain). But he also said that he didn't leave because of the ban & that it was just made up because he'd been spending much more of his time in the US.
Personally i'm not a fan of hunting at all...but nobodys perfect I guess :laugh:

I'm a bit confused here. Roger Waters has made it clear that he's against the ban on fox-hunting. However, that doesn't mean it's HIS hobby. Nowhere have I read that Roger himself practices fox-hunting.

Agreeing with it is bad enough, supporters of Hitler were evil buggers, even though they didn't kill anyone.... the same principle applies.
You don't have to practice it to agree with it.

I can't believe I'm replying to this thread, but here goes:
I figure that most of you against hunting do not actually live out in the country. When people build cities and other modern wonders, they slowly drive animals into smaller areas to live in.. most hunting is allowed not just for food, or sport, but for basic animal population control.
When I was growing up I can remember seeing 30 rabbits in my front yard at one time. When animals don't have full reign of the land they have population issues. If you just let it go, there would be mass sickness and potential drop in population of some species.
Having said that, I personally don't really enjoy hunting.

What gives us the right to decide when animals "overpopulated"?
And what don't you understand about "Blood Sport", foxes are rarer than they've ever been in the UK down to hunting - so the theroy of them being over populated is null and void.

My comments were not directly related to the foxes in England. I was speaking more to hunting in general.
What gives us the right? What gives us the right to do anything? You live in a house I assume? You have already pushed nature aside and out of it's rights. I would presume you live in a city of some type.. then it's even more... when cities continue to sprawl they continue to force animal populations into smaller niches.. unless you want some species to go extinct you have to control populations.
On another note, you don't have to be so smug in your reply to me. I'm not even a hunter. I'm just trying to have a healthy conversation.

Where I live, grocery stores are full. More crap to eat than you can imagine. It takes a few minutes and a few dollars and I can have a real quick meal. This hunting routine takes so long, and there's so much preparation to it. I just can't understand it. Sport?? I think not.
Catch the goddamn rabbit with your hands, run him down and kick his ass. That may be a bit sporting.
Let's just be honest here. Humans are born killers. Dr. Zayus said it, and it holds true.
All of that aside, I couldn't give a rat's a*s about hunting. Go for it man. Knock yourself out.
On your property. Not public land.
I shouldn't have to fear your bullet in a public park or forest.
Also, in my eyes, animals have no rights. Except possibly the right to get the h*ll outta the way when humans come near them. Kill'em, eat'em, control the population,whatever.
I do find it kinda goofy, the guy who's whole identity is wrapped up in hunting.
And let's put this enabling, non accurate term of "sportsman" to rest. That's like saying a child molester is just horny. :D
