Born Hunter 17,798 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Bosun has been saying for years that Fiennes is our enemy and I have defended the man. Fair play Bosun, seems you were right. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Just proves that an animal being killed is not the problem, their problem is seeing so called toffs on horseback enjoying themselves. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of toffs are in denial about being toffs.........a bit like chavs at the other end the the spectrum.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,798 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Just proves that an animal being killed is not the problem, their problem is seeing so called toffs on horseback enjoying themselves. That assumes that those objecting, like Fiennes, actually believe that the hunts aren't actively killing foxes. They don't I'm afraid. These days the majority of people are pretty disgusted by the thought of fox hunting. Class has been an issue in the past but I think it's very much the thought of animals being pursued and killed by hounds that is the main reason for their disgust. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You'd have to be stupid to not accept that a big part of the motivation behind the ban was some kind of misguided "class war" but to then say that means everyone (including Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, 3rd Baronet and distant cousin to the Queen) who's against fox hunting is only against it for the same reason is equally stupid, IMO.

Born Hunter 17,798 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I think a large part of how the technicalities of the hunting ban were designed/drafted were influenced by class prejudice. But the weight of public opposition, certainly in present times, is primarily driven by disgust that people could derive pleasure from such an apparently "barbaric act". It's definitely associated with the 'toff' image but that's just a way of the people who feel such disgust to create an "us and them" mentality to aid in their hate. I spend a lot of time around very liberal minded millennial types. I'm quite used to how they respond to this sort of stuff. I'm also quite used to the look on their face when the person who they thought was normal/nice (lol) turns out to be the very thing they have just spelt out their utter disgust for. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
