Britain Outlaws Fox Hunting

Britain Outlaws Fox Hunting:
"Opponents of hunting with hounds say it is unacceptably cruel because the dogs kill foxes by tearing them apart. They also deride it as a mainly aristocratic pastime; Prince Charles and other royals are among the most prominent participants."

What a waste of time for one of the world's oldest deliberative bodies. The foxes are a nuisance. It will still be legal to shoot them, but that's not very sporting from the dog's point of view.

I admit that I hage never seen a dog kill a fox. But I have seen dogs on the farm where I live kill groundhogs and they really enjoy it. Give the dogs a break. Just because some folks object to other folks they disapprove of for political reasons riding horses in hopes of watching the kill is no reason to deny the dogs their proper role in rural life, the environmentally benign control of vermin.
