Why do us humble spoilsports take pleasure in banning a sport that the noble aristocracy have enjoyed for 3 centuries. Just imagine if the Consevatives sought revenge by banning football,darts,snooker and other callous,cruel blood thirsty sports. Last Friday, whilst coming out of the local Bingo our Ilda narrowly avoided a near fatal attack by a gathering of rampant urban foxes intent on robbing her of a Wrights steak and Kidney pie that she was bringing home for me.Luckily, she managed a brief 'grimace' in the direction of the marauding pack,and they obliglingly dispersed without further bloodshed. People don't realise how many farmers lives have been ruined by such legislation... The same thing happened when the Labour party brought in the minimum wage...thousands of small businesses suffered,and mass unemployment followed. If things get much worse I am seriously thinking of getting a job.  ;D P.s..How do I apply for emigration to Poland ,and is there much demand for professional pools collectors out there.? |

It was banned because it was deemed to be against the Fox’s human rights (yes, foxes are now classed as humans).
They now get an allowance from the government and also accommodation etc.
There is a new bill being put together for Animals rights.
This will include all birds (not women, the feathered variety) and Koala Bears.
Koala Bears should not be hunted, it’s wrong.

Thanks for that latest news whydelilah, if it wasn't for the likes of you and me ....some people on here would never become edumacated.
I also think that it's great news for koala bears ....but less so for the Brisbane institute of Taxidermy whose spokesman last night complained that his industry had had the 'stuffing knocked out of it'.... Life's full of up's and down's.!

It must be the whole good/bad karma thingy mumf. When something good happens in the world, something bad happens somewhere else to balance it out.
I keep hoping if I do bad deeds (like burning cats with an aerosol can and a lighter) that something good elsewhere will happen (such as breaking news that Perricard, Broomes and Buxton have all been sold to Leeds in a combined 1 million pound deal).
We live in hope I suppose.
p.s. I’m a bit gutted for the Brisbane institute of Taxidermy and the industry as a whole…………does this mean fewer beavers will now be stuffed? I doubt it if you live where I do…….

Ooo er,!
Personally, I think it's healthy to explore other angles of opinion....What I see in Percard,Broomes and Buxton is different to what our great leader 'The Messiah' doesn't..(Or perhaps I've got this last statement the wrong way round.)
Anyway I digress.....My bad karma really means how appreciated I am , and how many were wrong to criticize our great leader The mighty Tone.!
We might not have any Beavers, but we've certainly got a few 'beasts'..!!!

I'm going to try be serious on this thread;for once.
On one hand I know that chasing a fox with hounds and 30/40 horse's and riders is cruel.Especially when they catch the aforementioned fox and rip him apart while he's still alive.
On the other;I just know that the anti-animal everything will now start on fishing,horse racing etc.Plus will we have any country pursuits left in 100 years?
Before you know it football will be banned cuz we used to use a pigs bladder!

"Plus will we have any country pursuits left in 100 years?" With this government we'll have no country left in a hundred years |

If you ask Nu-Labour, they'll tell you it was because of the unnecessary cruelty to bushy-tailed animals If you ask hunters (that's an h) or the conswervatives, they tell you it was revenge for the miners strike (I've no idea what it has to do with the miners ... but there you are) If you ask foxes - after they've finished their surmon on the evils of hallucinogenic drugs - they'll tell you that they have a rubber fetish, and getting run over is much more likely to satisfy said need than a punch up with a beagle*. If you ask Bazil ... you'll be locked up for talking to plants. Or you're Prince Charles (which seems unlikely)  ah * - Quite why huntsmen didn't dress their beagles up in rubber jackets is beyond me ... but these posh-types are clueless at the best of times, aren't they ... |

Im not really sure where i stand on this subject, i HATE government getting involved in banning things, i hate government sticking there noses in most places, but it is a cruel sport, it's not something I would participate in. Im just pissed off in general with government sticking there noses into all parts of our lives, be it telling us how to raise our children or telling us that we all need a national ID card and must be part of this huge database which will hold your personal details etc, something i find quite frightening when you consider the how incompetent government is in making sure information is safe.

just imagine if Fishing was banned...the maggot industry would be wiped out.Thousands of blue bottles would be released into the open air and congregate in hideous mobs around fast food outlets,boarding kennels,and Bernard Matthews Mc nugget factories.
I can see 'fly by' blue bottle protests across major U.K cities becoming the norm.I'm seriously considering organising a emergency Blue bottle refuge centre in our back kitchen as a safe haven for all those affected....damp,squalid,filthy,food scraps everywhere,dogs,turds.....Chester zoo said it should be an ideal breeding ground.
I'll let you know...
