If pro-fox hunters stopped hiding behind other people, and just admitted they liked killing foxes then I might even support them for their honesty, but the way in which they lie, obscure and hijack other issues they really care nothing of, is quite sickening.

Where were you bastards when they chucked tens of thousands of miners out of work? Murdoch's Times was happy to print lies to help Thatcher attack the working class then, so don't come dribbling to us for "working class" sympathy now, you vicious little toff.

...then the fox hunters wouldn't build artificial earths stocked with food, to ensure a steady supply of their victims:

It's not pest control, it's a sickfuck's idea of fun. I don't care whether working class people also enjoy it. It's coming to an end. You've lost. Get over it.

Dr. S/Sgt. Henry/Toad/Trudy, do you deny that artificial earths are built by fox hunters then? I doubt it.

"I have also seen the measures taken by hunt supporters to ensure a good supply of quarry.
I have seen artificial earths, built by hunt supporters for foxes to breed in, in every part of England and also in Wales. I have seen 31 artificial earths in the small area hunted by the [ ] foxhounds alone. I have seen the largest artificial earth that I know of in the Lake District in the very heart of sheep rearing. I have seen logpiles built by hunt supporters to provide shelter for foxes above ground. I have seen food put out by hunt supporters to feed foxes. I have seen dead chickens, lambs, adult sheep, calves and even boxes of bacon rinds dumped in woods, usually near artificial earths, as food for foxes. I have also seen two live cubs held captive in appalling conditions in an artificial earth in a wood owned by a Yorkshire based hunt. I have also seen hares netted and moved by hare coursing enthusiasts.
I have seen the pastime of hunting our wildlife with packs of dogs as it really is. Not as it is claimed to be by its supporters. Not as it is believed to be by apologists for it who have never seen it.
It is my experience that this amusement is both inherently cruel and entirely unnecessary."

Hello Henry, the way in which you paraphrased me only looks like an admittance of your own dishonesty, especially considering that I'm not necessarily even opposed to fox-hunting. I am opposed to the elitist structure of our society which creates a working class in the first place, and yes, it would be better if people like myself attacked elitism, instead of addressing the issue of class and elitism, through the often ridiculous, over-emotive, and monty python style defence of cuddly foxes (vermin).

Why not just shoot the unemployed for sport? We'd have to stand farther back as they'd be too easy to hit, and some robust form of launching craft would need to be designed. Perhaps aircraft and parachutes...

Imagine the effect on unemployment figures! (Not to mention inner-city crime rates...)

'Do what you like to the working classes, just don't hurt the poor foxes' is the anti-human & & anti-working class logic of much of the 'animal rights' lobby, so in that respect at least I agree with Henry, although, as said, Henry probably doesn't give a genuine toss about the working class either.
