Thread Name: BS: Should foxhunting be banned?
Subject: RE: BS: Should foxhunting be banned?
No comment, except this. Steve Parkes said, regarding the killing of foxes with guns, "The fox will almost certainly not be killed immediately, but will disappear from sight and die slowly and in much pain, possibly over several days, and maybe from starvation rather than its wound."

I find that statement very... uh... misleading, to put it politely. If you have first hand knowledge of such ineptitude, either UK hunters must not know what kind of ammo to use or they're some piss poor shots.

BTW, hunters go deep in the bush and always shoot twice. That's for Guest, Stavenger Bill.
