There is no need to bring back fox hunting despite the hunting fraternity spouting their nonsesnse about pest control. Urban foxes are only a pest in our cities because we are so profligate with our waste.  There is no such problem in the countryside.

If a farmer has problems with a fox taking livestock he is quite entitled to take a gun and shoot it without the inconvenience of a pack of hounds and an equally repulsive pack of hunters on horses trampling all over his land.

Fox hunting is nothing less than a bloodsport disguised in the garb of tradition.
