Thread Name: BS: Should foxhunting be banned?
Subject: RE: BS: Should foxhunting be banned?
As far as I know, Fox hunting isn't illegal in the U.S. - There used to be fox hunts (at least the musical Mame shows one in the South). Maybe there still is. A possible solution is that fox hunters in the U.K. could go to Georgia on their vacation for fox hunting. There'd probably be less flak - heck, we're talking Georgia - the Klan still exists in Georgia and it'd be good for tourism and I'll bet American foxes are more of a challenge that those little ones in the U.K.

Also, the rodeo is still popular in the U.S. despite that animals are harmed each and every time a rodeo happens - want to know why bulls jump up and down in a mad attempt to "throw the rider"? Check out their back end - noting a rope strung around their hind and under their legs - guess what the underside of the rope is attached to.

Of course, I could be wrong...
