What do you think of sport hunting?

[Master]

Fox hunting is an activity involving the tracking, chase, and sometimes killing of a fox, traditionally a red fox, by trained foxhounds or other scent hounds, and a group of unarmed followers led by a master of foxhounds, who follow the hounds on foot or on horseback.Fox hunting originated in the 16th century in the form which was practised legally until 2005 when it was banned although certain modified forms of hunting foxes with hounds are still within the law.

Fox hunting isn't actually "hunting" per say....doesn't require much talent (if any) and the dogs do all the work. It's the chase that matters, the kill is not nice at all.

Using dogs for hunting (especially when they aren't flushing or retrieving birds) is kind of a tough practice. Some dogs get lost on hunts, some get injured or killed as well depending on what you're after. Plott Hounds are some great hunters, my dog is part Plott, but I wouldn't use him for what he was bred for because as a pet he's too precious for me to risk him against some stupid wild boar or a black bear.

The people I know that are opposed to hunting are just completely unaware of the skill, dedication, hard work, and just the over all strain it puts on a person...to have a hands on interaction with how you feed your family really deepens your respect for nature. It's tough to cull an animal....a lot of the times hunters are happy with their shot they are most happy the animal wasn't wounded and that the death was as quick and painless as possible for them. The hunters I know are probably more tenderhearted around animals than the eco-nuts I know.

Those fox hunters are a bunch of cunts. I never understood why anyone got off on violence against animals.

To me hunting and animal cruelty like that are completely different things. To me it's night and day, like comparing a soldier killing an enemy soldier on the battlefield and some pathetic lone wolf gunning down people on the street because girls wouldn't sleep with him. Hunting is a noble art and it's what we've been doing to survive since mankind began, killing an animal for the sake of it is just being a cunt imo.

Drag hunting is the only legal form available now which does not involve a fox at all.
