So hunts using dogs to chase foxes now termed legal huntimg cuddle up to them when cornered then? Thanks guys for clarifying this for me, I thought they shot the fox, killed it with an eagle owl or something like that. I feel so much happier now knowing that they don't actually kill foxes now. They probably hug them to death I guess.

Hackedoff - I would be interested to hear your thoughts on an alternative for farmers whom suffer a substantial loss of earnings each year as a result.

Ostrich you win sureal quote of the day . I would expect foxes to die like most mortal beasts. Is your point is that they die at hunts but not by being mauled by the dogs ?

I think this kinda thing will always end up in an anti/pro debate. Hunting is after all at the centre of the story.

I was going to hint that you had an agenda, hackedoff, but you've just gone and blown it now

Wow and I thought it was about the untimely end of someone's much loved-pet coupled with 'should the hunt have had more control over their hounds' - or that is how the thread started out
Well I am not interested in the pro and anti debate, I was merely commenting on someone expressing extreme views which I personally did not agree with. So please feel free to carry on your hunting debate and I shall move on
It is, but you cant deny hunting is at the centre of it, if the hunt wasnt happening then the poor wee moggy would be alive and kicking. Not saying its right. Having had a cat killed by dogs (lurchers, which correct me if i am wrong are classified as hounds?
) i really feel for the family and as i have said in my previous comments, the huntsman dealt with it very innapropriately.

Hackedoff- if your cat came into my garden and killed the blackbirds that I saw from the first day they hatched (silly mummy blackbird built the nest on the creeping plant right by my front door so couldn't help but notice them) and have subsequently grown fond of I should, by your logic, call for it to be PTS?
Those who say the hounds should ALWAYS respond immediately to being called off- has your horse ever ignored you on a hack because it gave in to instinct? I've had to come to a stop in my car before due to a horse deciding it wanted to run sideways from a monster in the hedge. Luckily I slow down well in advance when approaching horses on the road. The rider was very apologetic when I wound the window down and asked if she needed a hand. Horses should always listen to their riders but, due to being animals with instincts (and having tiny brains), they don't. Hounds/dogs are the same.
I agree it was a horrible accident and I feel sorry for the cat's owners but I do think it's one of those things- wrong place at the wrong time
I would imagine there was no malicious intent re: the dog food bag and they were just not thinking about how it could be interpreted (unless they were hinting they'd like to keep the body for supper time joking!!!)

Returning the cat's body gift-wrapped with a wee condolence card would have been almost as bad under the circumstances.I would imagine there was no malicious intent re: the dog food bag and they were just not thinking about how it could be interpreted (unless they were hinting they'd like to keep the body for supper time
