What do you think of sport hunting?

[Andre]

Over here we have rich toffs on their horses chasing a little fox through the countryside with a pack of wild hounds ready to rip it apart all in the name of sport and culture.

That's even "disgusting'er" than bullfighting (the latter at least takes balls and skill, even though I'm against it). I can't see the difference between the picture above and pitting two dogs against each other.

I never hunted, although I used to go spearfishing a few years ago, but to me hunting (as spearfishing) would require at least three conditions:

1. A considerable degree of difficulty (no pompous tourists on pay-hunt safaris).
2. What you catch is edible and you actually intend to eat it.

and 3: it's not an endangered species.

Were foxes classed as vermin over there?

They are here,you can kill em, they even have bounties at times in some areas.
