[Gypsydog94 4,575]

103 vets have called for a government funded scientific review into the hunting of foxes.

Was reading about it earlier, they were warned that a ban would decimate the fox population but it was never about welfare so they never gave a fck

Shame coursing under rules never got a mention 

[Greyman 28,423]

None of its rocket science really, it’s just about taking all control, let country people deal with country matters and if we did we would not need a badger cull , or marksmen shooting piles of pigs,hares and deer etc governments react in a knee jerk way constantly swinging from one extreme to another instead of finding a happy medium, it’s how they remain in power, if everyone was happy and living there best life we would soon realise how much we don’t need them so never expect common sense to prevail

Because coursing clubs under rules give something back in protection and conservation.....which if we are to ever have a future in a shrinking countryside, is something we would have to demonstrate.

So technically you’re doing it under rules? You’re not just going out and poaching hares? Because all the public think when coursing is mentioned is poaching.

I'd love a wild open country and a free for all.....but it ain't ever coming back in that form. 

I've seen land managed by coursing clubs destroyed by poachers and land that teemed with hares become devoid after the ban. I'm not going down the argument route.... I couldn't give a fck anymore, spent my life defending all fieldsports, often defending them from other fieldsports people

Same as the nationalist cause....doomed from within

I don’t even bother arguing with people against fieldsports anymore. To many arguments to be had within.

Definitely not, but to be fair there's no shortage of places that we've ruined hare populations by over lamping with the dogs, too easy to exploit, I've seen some good runs on the lamp and many a hare escape, but, there's only so much stick they can take, good habitat or not

So foxes would be against the ban after all.

Sadly, I’m not sure reversing a ban would benefit the fox much. Shooting dominates the field sports heirachy.

I live on the border of two of the big midlands packs, everywhere is shot and I can’t see that changing much if the ban was repealed.
