Fox hunters march on Labour conference.

Guido | 29.09.2004 11:19 | London

There is something going seriously wrong when the biggest and loudest demo outside Labour's annual gig is by people who are even more reactionary!

What-ho!
What-ho!

"Tommorow your getting shot and fed to the others."
"Tommorow your getting shot and fed to the others."

Tally Ho, we're orf!

.......and the same goes for your mates."


Several thousand Countryside Alliance supporters travelled to Brighton on Tuesday to protect their right to hunt wild animals with dogs and tear them to pieces while still alive. One thing that really makes me sick is listening to these tossers saying how hunting will be Blair's Poll Tax. Lets get this straight- The Poll Tax was a vicious attack on millions of poor people across the country. Banning hunting will piss off a few thousand countryside Tories and their cap doffing minions who no doubt see their loyalty rewarded by losing their jobs should the ban ever happen.

One outraged hunter tells me:- "We're being searched and filmed at the station just because of the way we are dressed". I will never know how I contained my laughter.

The march itself is nowhere near as much fun as their recent jamboree in Parliment square. After getting beaten to shit by neo Labours bootboys a couple of weeks ago they clearly don't have the bottle for round two. A few light objects were thrown at the cops and at one point a gate was forced open.

Instead they resort to dumpimg rotting animal carcasses in Brighton town centre. Well that's gonna win hearts and minds isnt it?

count your days...1, 2, 3...

The hunt scum are in the minority and I cant wait for them to be stopped.

Lets hope Charles and the rest of his blood lusting chums keep to their promise of leaving the country when the ban hits. I just hope we dont let the dirty perverts back in!

what a shower

When these cuntry-deviant filth are not whining in the cities, they are either hounding, terrorising, maimimg and killing our wildlife, shagging their mothers and sisters or chewing grass ... one or the other.

Do they all come out of the 'village womb' wearing flat caps or what??

Let Them Rot!!

Classy


I'm loving it

Every action the Cuntryside Alliance do makes the public like them less. Dumping dead animal carcasses shows exactly the kind of mentality we are dealing with. Roll on the ban!

Notice how the police

Notice how, rather unusually, the police are easily identifiable - with the proper numbers an all!

So no anonomous bashing and trashing here then.

Lucky CA!?!

ok i own dogs and ferrets and with these i hunt rabbit to eat and keep the numbers down on some local farms to prevent damage to the crops/habitat , i also if required will get rid of any rouge fox's which have got a taste for farm stock . if a dog kills a fox it is over very quickly and imho it is a better way than the other methods that will be used if a ban on all hunting with dogs comes into law . i can see why people dont like mounted hunts but can people tell me hand on heart they are aware of the alternative methods that will be used to control foxs ? ? snareing gassing shooting is a far nastier bussiness than a man an his dog either lamping or terrier work for deling with problem fox's i fear if this bans comes in we will be over run with foxs suffering with mange and also more shot badly and crawling of to die hours or days later in agony . so if u educate yourselfs alittle more instead of acting on your heart i think u will see there is a place in this world an allways will be for hunting with dogs to keep pest species down wen other methods are very cruel or indiscrimanant in the species they kill

What the hells's normal?

Overun by foxes? Absolute bullshit.

You animal abusing filth only use the excuse that 'foxes kill livestock and they should therefore be wiped out' because YOU want to imprison, murder and devour the 'livestock' your greedy selves.

Yeah..Live by your heart. SMASH ANIMAL ABUSE THAT IS PERPETRATED BY HUMANS!

well

01.10.2004 17:04

were have i said wipe out fox's ? have you seen the slaughter a rouge fox can do to chickens/lamb/ pheasants / it looks like u hav not ! there are certain times were they need to die simple fact of life !! lose 30 chickens in a nite the vast majority not even eaten and then see how u feel

use a rifle you tight git!

01.10.2004 22:08

foxes have crap eyesight. they're almost completely blind beyond 50 yards. if its a question of pest control then you can kill 'em using a single shot from a .338 instead of chasing them for an hour with a savage dog

i'd rather a high power bullet then be mauled to death by an animal


Re: use a rifle

02.10.2004 11:21

Didn't you read above what happens when people use a rifle? The fox often takes hours or even days to die a slow and painful death. I'd rather be torn apart in seconds. Don't get me wrong, both are fucked up. I'd say that if farmers should just build better fences and stuff to keep the foxes out. I'm tempted to add that they should stop farming animals and stop eating animals and become vegans. But then that would be a tad hypocritical as I'm off to enjoy a nice fat roast chicken right now.

have u scientific fact to back up your claims that foxs can only see 50 yards ? because i no that they see a lot more than that mate ! and a clean shot is hard at times for even a good shot ! ive found foxs still alive afther being shot and there are in a terrible state and been in that state for a while and dont get me started on snareing they are evil bits of kit and i would only use them in survival situation . I no the subject of animals dieing is a very emotinal one for many people but iam afraid you have to look at things from a factual point and use of lurchers/terriers is the most humane a gauranteed way to deal with fox's attacking livestock ! perhaps if you feel as strongly as you do you should lobby your mp to bring about the end of the muslim/jewish method of slaughter when a naimal is hung by its feet a pray is said then the throat is slashed and the animal is left to bleed to death
