Well I'm a Brit who doesn't want it banned. I'm not actually too bothered about foxhunting because there's hardly anyone (in Scotland anyway) who still does it. But I'm dead against the general banning of hunting with dogs, eg including hare coursing, lamping or whatever. Why the hell shouldn't we? and for those who use the argument 'it's cruel', well, no it's not. It's nature. Dogs have evolved to chase and kill. Hares/rabbits/rats etc (and this includes foxes, if we consider that the last wolf in Britain was only killed in the 18th century - not long in evolutionary terms) have evolved to be chased and killed.
And I hate the way antis always paint a picture of how the hare or fox 'is ripped apart alive by a pack of bloodthirsty hounds'. Generally the first dog to it snaps its neck, and it's dead by the time the rest of them get hold of it.
Although I have to say I do mostly agree with J.F.H above - if you want to kill an animal you should be going to eat it or protecting somone or something from it. And I reckon if you're going to eat it you should be prepared to skin and gut it yourself. I think supermarket prepacked meat has a lot to do with why the urban population is so against hunting with dogs.
