My stance on this issue isn't going to win me any friends, but being brought up in the country I can't sit on the fence.
I think hunting with hounds provides the best way of culling foxes and provides a decent living for many country people.
Too many of our traditions are going down the tubes, and this pending outright ban on hunting with hounds is only the thin end of the wedge that will eventually lead to massive attacks on angling.
The alternative means of culling foxes (which are now running around our gardens and in our streets quite openly) will cause the foxes to suffer a great deal more than the traditional hunt.
