Angry Goose Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Ricky Gervais posted this article There's simply nothing classy about fox hunting, a bloody tradition that uses dogs to tear foxes limb from limb. While a ban on the cruel sport has been in place for a decade, it's hard to enforce, and no one knows how many foxes are still killed each year. But some animal activists in the U.K. are taking the law into their own hands, using whatever means they can to intervene on behalf of the defenseless animals hunted down despite the law protecting them. Moving footage from 2012 shows the determination of a woman who couldn't stand the cruelty. Facebook/Leon Vegano Animal Sanctuary The hunters sit astride horses in the fox hunting tradition, while their trained dogs do their dirty work. Facebook/Leon Vegano Animal Sanctuary The hounds are zeroing in on a tiny fox when a woman sprints towards them. She starts screaming at the dogs to get them to stand back. Facebook/Leon Vegano Animal Sanctuary She throws her own body on the fox and brings the shaking animal into her arms. As she runs away with the fox, the hunters shout at her from their horses: "Leave it!" There is a video at the bottom of the article that shows the whole ordeal. Worth watching. What a great lady.

Down by the River Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 What's the point of fox hunting? Confirmation that you're elite. Fox hunting is simply a tradition that helps remind people what social class they are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 People who get a thrill out of watching animals rip apart another (or the morons who like to torture bulls, etc.) are empty shells, devoid of empathy and obviously and desperately lacking. To watch an act like this and not cringe or have the impulse to help/make it stop? Yeah, numb skulls. I wish they'd get thrown from their horses and the dogs turn on them. Sorry?

War, famine, drought, refugees... there are enough actual issues that actually matter to complain about. It was a recent article, and given the issue is up for debate in GB it s relevant. Further, not many people actually know what Fox hunting is like. This is something that should never be permitted again. And that woman is probably more courageous than youll ever be.
