Thread Name: BS: 'free vote' about fox hunting?
Subject: RE: BS: 'free vote' about fox hunting?
Many years ago I used to follow a certain hunt. I recall the Huntmaster at that time was a plasterer by trade. I had no idea plasterers were apparently so well remunerated. The remainder of the hunt comprised a liquorice all-sorts of trades and professions.

" i think its bullshit about wounding them. obviously - you're not using the right kind of gun. bullets exist that could vaporise the little bastards."

Utter garbage. A shotgun is by far the safer weapon to use, as the killing range is very restricted. Using a rifle(assuming you can obtain a license) poses a potential danger to anyone within range 1.e.around 1500yards aimed out to 5 miles+ as a random shot.(using a 0.303 as an example) How many hunters get shot in America each hunting season? with a fraction of the population density of the UK. Better a half dead fox than a dead human being.
