    At least patty is consistent - he still thinks the same of kids with cancer.

    You don't understand anything about this and I hope you never will.

    You can fight it! Sometimes the chemo is so bad that the patient can't take it anymore? When one more corse might do the job! That's the FIGHT.

    Foxhounds chase and occasionally rip foxes to shreds whilst being egged on by people on horseback. They even smear the dead animals blood on the cheeks of the young huntspeople. That's all I need to know to dislike it. The media has little influence on me.

    people are against foxhunting cos they are furry and cute.

    everyone gets touched by cancer, but without drugs, I can only think of one guy that beat it.... all he did was positive thoughts and prayer. I knew him in Texas.

    Just saw the vid on live leak. Awful that the guy died but you've gotta be nuts to go in the ring with a bull.

    Bullfighting is wrong, bullfighters dying is also wrong. Spain should be ashamed to be fair.

    A bloke near me beat it by completely changing his diet , I think he went onto raw alfalfa sprouts . Another bloke on Burnsy show mentioned he'd fought it by 50g vitamin c daily intravenously after the doctors had given up. Certainly food for thought.

    "Properly" was referring to fit healthy foxes having a good chance of getting away rather than putting one way gates on their dens so they can't go back in or getting terriers to get them out of places the hounds can't.

    Foxes are ****s. They're everywhere in the area I live, I see them very frequently, dead and alive. They rip to shreds cats, small dogs, lambs, calves, chickens, ducks, cygnets, they're even known to attack children. It's ironic to hate something that turns the tide on a bully and gives it a piece of its own medicine for once.

    If we still had Wolves, would people be against them being hunted? Imagine the chaos they would cause. Foxes are little different, smaller and roam more independently which limits their potential for havoc, but still very dangerous and a total ****ing nuisance.

    Bull fighting is a completely different kettle of fish. The fox hunt is a hunt. The fox is wild, it takes place out in the wild, it can escape. The bull is locked in a ring and no matter what happens in that ring, it's gonna die. Although I must admit, I have no understanding of the selection process for fighting bulls. If it was going to be put down anyway, why not make a bit of fun and games out of it and let it go down fighting instead of in some bland, dreary slaughter house. At least then the bull can go to Valhalla, if it believes in that sort of thing.

    Nobody said anything against pest control. Fox hunting is not pest control, it's entertainment for the sick ****s who participate.

    What is likely to be the cost of: a horse + stabling/feed/vet bills + the mandatory 'hunting pink'?

    I'd humbly suggest you need a bit of cash...

    It doesn't cost as much as a lot think.

    When you breakdown of lot of hobbies the cost seems excessive. Season ticket, shirt, match programme, food/drink, away tickets and travel/accommodation.

    Miners were amongst those who used to be members of hunts. The person who was in charge of the one near me had a newsagents.

    Not really, no. Any loss of life is lamentable.

    That's a really interesting viewpoint.
