Hmmm....quite often they are not "quickly" shot, they are wounded and die a slow painful death from starvation......or are poisoned, it is still used tho' nominally illegal.

I don't think the anti foxhunting lobby really care about animal cruelty and really want to abolish things which don't fit in with a "rights on" ideology. At the moment they are hunting greyhound racing although it is about the best regulated sports in existence.
If they really cared they would be campaigning against factory farming of animals.
