Can we please do away with the term 'cubbing'?

I have not read all the pages, as I could see just dipping in that it has turned into a hunting debate.
To those that have been cubbing for years (pre ban) it will always be cubbing & yes it was a bit of a slaughter of cubs, but it had its purpose.
Foxes are vermin, very beautiful to look at, but vermin none the less.
Cubbing would encourage the cubs to disperse from that area (or be killed).
Rats are vermin too, so how many of you countryside folk who oppose hunting on a cruelty basis do not put down traps or poison down for not so beautiful ratty?
I look forward to the urban fox taking over the townsfolks gardens, stinking the place out & killing all the pet chickens.
Maybe then people will see what a service the hunt can provide.
I await your abuse.

Well well done Partypremier for at last putting it exactly as it is, few pro's would. If I had a rat problem I certainly would not use poison, I fortunately have never had a problem but if I did I would choose a method with the least suffering involved, no matter what animal. Would you put a ring of people round a wood and send hounds in if it were foals/young horses? Why do you have different rules for different animals in that case? What I am trying to say is, surely even the most hardened of hunters, or people in for the equestrian side of hunting alike would find cubbing quite brutal if you really think about it. There are better ways than that.

If I had a rat problem I would use a terrier. The rat would be caught and killed pretty quickly. Don't see the difference in a hound and a fox. Size and strength difference etc. Horses would be slightly different due to their sheer size so not really a good comparison. But as rats don't look cute and people think they spread disease no one really cares how they are killed. I would no more like to see a rat have a slow and painful death than I would a fox or any animal for that matter.

We've had this discussion before Judgemental, and you requested me to PM you with details of the hunts I know of which hunt fox and I did so. You must be the last person in the country who is pro hunting not to know that Hunting Act or no Hunting Act, there are hunts actively hunting fox
You cannot be serious. Never, I cannot believe anybody would possibly think of breaking the law in respect of the 2004 Hunting Act let along actually doing it.
Might I suggest cptrayes a short spell at the Priory might help you?

How rude!! Of course they are still breaking the law, with regular prosecutions to prove it, and I'm sure you know it, so I assume you are just being sarcastic.
