Just had to draw people's attention to this as I think it's disgusting and people should know about it.
Re the argument that fox hunting is needed for pest control.
I don't believe the fox population needs controlling. Man should leave nature alone.
Wildlife Guardian Magazine autumn 2005
Interview with Paul Flynn MP for Newport West.
Quote Paul
'All the hunters have lost is the sordid pleasure from killing a living creature. Now,there is no need to breed foxes to be hunted. The excuse of pest controlwas destroyed by the leaking of a plea by the Master of Foxhounds Association to breed more foxes to cope with the current shortage''
It goes on to say...
'that this house agrees with Simon Hart, Cheif Executive of the Countryside Alliance, that his organisation would be ridiculed in Parliament on the publication of a letter sent by the Master of Foxhounds Association to 800 hunt masters warning of the nationwide 'shortage of foxes' and urging landowners to 'solve the problem'; and welcomes this further evidence that foxhunting is is unconnected with pest control but is devoted entirely to sadistic pleasure derived from the protracted torment and death of foxes, bred for that purpose.

Good on yer Paul!
