Why is the ban on fox hunting a big agenda at the house of lords, Labour
dont want it in just yet, not when there is an election coming up, its the
Tory Lords who are the ones who want it in. More to the point why is it an
agenda saving a fox from death by hunting, when hundreds more or even
thousands are killed on Britians roads every day. More importantly humans
can go hunting other humans for death in Iraq and nobody seems to bat an eye
or at least try and do much about it. Ban on fox hunting scenes in London,
hundreds of people fighting with police, protest on Iraq war, a dozen people
wandering aimlessly through London.
Where are the priorities?

When I lived on the mainland I knew all about the urban fox.
He used to visit my garden most nights and crap on my lawn, my back steps
and all around my pond.
When I went pick a cabbage from the vegetable patch I would discover that
the fox had peed on it and it stank to high heaven and had to be thrown
away.
I used to be woken up during the night by packs of foxes running down my
road, fighting and howling.
If I put a rubbish sack out for the dustmen it, and that of my neighbours,
would be ripped to pieces and the contents strewn about.
The worst of all was at the chicken farm where I often spent weekends. 22
hens in the broody pen, all with their heads bitten off.
Yes, I support the urban fox, preferably by the neck.
Long live fox hunting.

What's wrong with just shooting them?
