Fox cruelty: South Herefordshire Hunt pair found guilty

[agricola]

yeah, usually the coppers are on-side with the hunt ... several are known supporters, or even ride to hounds.

One of the few benefits of nearly ten years of no actual pay rise is that everyone has been forced to sell their horse.

Hi, foxes are protected species and is illegal to killing them or hunting them. I know are some idiots who still hunting foxes illegally, but is illegal. I don t understand what problems got those people with foxes?

Except that it isn't illegal to kill foxes.

I suppose it depends where you are.
Livestock isn't fenced in on the New Forest, for example....

This is just horrible; woman kicks and beats poor horse. She hunts which says a lot about her regard for animal welfare.
