Is fox hunting right or wrong?

[Ser Yorick]

Just don't hunt foxes, it's hypocritical to say that they destroy crops and will reproduce like mad. And hunting for the sake of killing something, like for sport, is stupid, showing you need to use a gun to feel like a "man". If you're going to hunt something, you must respect it, as an opponent, and use its pelt and/or meat. Don't pretend it's a retard and tell him he should go ask out Sandy Dumbrowsky.

Hundreds of people have their own pet dogs Put Down every week.[/b]

There is an obvious difference between having your dog put down and killing an animal for sport.

Yes but I've never actually said that I support hunting foxs for sport. I only support killing them if they become a pest.

Fox Hunting. Forever a sport amoung farmers & lovers of the sport. But some think it is beyond all forms of humanity. Well, what are your views? Right, or wrong? Personally I deem it right, as a farmer. The fox is a pest, in need of being controlled. Do you agree?

Food chain...were all animals. If one can't survive. Thats its problem. Survival of the fittest. Its now time to move on.

What if another animal was introduced by humans and is competing for the same food or habit or is actively killing the other animal? Is that fair? Should we not try to help in that situation since we were the ones who created the problem in the first place?

Is it a problem? What if we want the introduced species to win? Basically, we're making it like it were pangea since with Pangea, all the land animals and plants are exposed to each other and presumably there would be less variation since only one animal can fill a niche.

But right now the introduced species is the species that we are killing and calling "pests".

who cares about foxs?

I still say its right.

The animals are allowed to fight one another, and humans hunting with guns has and always been a part of life. Hunting has been in life since the birth of man. Who is to say whats right and whats wrong these days with all the things that happen?

Since when has using guns to hunt always been a part of life. Gunpowder was discovered in the 1100s or 1200s. Spears or clubs were probably the first weapons and were probably discovered either with our common ancestor with the chimp or a little further down the line to us.

I meant hunting in general. Range weapons have been used since man could first throw a stone.
