Comments on: Fox Hunting http://downingstreetsays.com/briefings/2004/09/15/900 Every day the Prime Minister's Spokesman meets a small coterie of political journalists known as 'the lobby' for a topical chat, or 'briefing'.

Yes they steal farmers' livestock but it's to get food for their family. Some people kill for fun but foxes kill to stay alive. If they're pests then what are those certain humans. To foxes they're monsters. I strongly agree with the ban! I find fox hunting cruel, especially the fact that people do it for fun.

The inempt hunt monitors who now think they have the right of law behind them are being run rings round..bless their little deluded minds. Tally Ho!

For the most part, most people in the towns dont have a clue about the countryside or in fact know about what pests foxes can be - expsically to farmers. They go about spreading disease and uprooting crops. Fox hunting is something which should be allowed!. Look whats happing now the ban is in place..the fox population is booming..and so forcing them into the towns and cities, and yet those 'townies' still complain...well to that i say you only have yourselves to blame for voting for the ban in the first place.
