Fox hunting is only banned with DOGS. You can shoot, maim, gas, despatch in many, many ways quite legally. Ironically, most of which are crueler than the method they banned. But then again, it never was about the fox, was it?
I presume those are just excerpts from his book sewn together to make it seem even worse. The PC brigade might not like it but I thought it was entertaining. Folk will always pay to be entertained. 21000 complaints about his One Show comments; I wonder how many complaints if they sacked him? At least 2.1million? Journalists baying for his blood, no, they just think it'll be read by thousands as it's the hot topic of the week. It will all roll on and people will still love him. He's said stuff in the past that I thought a little insulting but I never complained, the tv has an 'off' button and no one's forced to read his book.
Get all that Loz but as a young lad I went to a fox hunt and it was shocking...Nothing humane about it...All for keeping the balance but hunting for me...and just my opinion....was just wrong......ANd I did live in the countryside where we had live stock so I realise a fox can be a major issue...
What I find really shocking these days is the new 'craze' of hunting foxes with those big 'GranTurismo' things.
It's just exploiting a loophole, that's all.
