Fox Hunting: the rights and wrongs


I certainly understand the moral wrongs regarding fox hunting but who can convince me different? I am not coming from a political stage on this subject just the moral one. The people that take part in this brutal blood sport of hunting foxes and wildlife always use the argument that it's a necessary act in order to keep the fox population down and under control, sorry but I don't buy that for one moment. The only thing on which I stand in agreement with the fox hunters, is that, it's certainly a long tradition but it's a tradition of unnecessary human brutality. If you were to find yourself in a position where you needed to kill the wildlife in order to survive then it would be difficult to come out against that situation. But this fox hunting is nothing more than a brutal act that serves only a human perversion to see animals kill other animals in up there in the hills. Now don't get all political about this subject it's a moral opinion of right or wrong, is fox hunting a necessary part of country life based on keeping control of the fox population or just a need to satisfy that inner blood lust of watching dogs kill that fox? Blood sports does not just stop with the fox it's anything that moves up their in the hills. Have you ever seen these hunters taking part in what they see as nothing more that a bit of natural sport? No, in my view it's kill anything you see just because it's there. I understand that country life is very much different to what we know here in Towns and cities, it's just looking at the moral rights and wrongs of blood sports thats all.
