Fox Hunting - what do you think? on 20:04 - Apr 21 by Swanjaxs
I came home from doing a nightshift last summer and was sitting down having a quick cupper before going to bed. All of a sudden our house cat (she's an absolutely tiny Devon rex) stood up an all fours on the windowsill in the front room, cackling as she does when she sees a bird, giving it the big one.
I didn't take much notice at first, but this went on for about five minutes.
In the end I went over to see what all the fuss was about.
On the side wall, about 6 foot from the window was a full grown fox lining up his/hers next breakfast 🥴

The fox had mislaid his watch probably.

I hope so. I’ve considered this quite a lot recently. He’s knocking 15 now and while he’s in relatively good nick for his age we know it’s not going to last forever. Not sure how the wife would feel about it. She’s devoted to him and him her. No kids see. We’ll see.
I’ve got a fifteen-year-old Lurcher, Clase. The Lord alone know how he’s still alive, the rule of thumb says an animal that size should have gone four years or so ago.
German wire-haired Pointer x Bull Greyhound. Absolutely majestic in his pomp.
That CBD oil is some sort of magic elixir, it has to be!
An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

It’s weird, much of the time he’s quite wobbly, he’s almost completely deaf and half blind. But the recent good weather and us being home all the time has livened him up a treat. He spent a good 20 minutes running around the back garden like a spring lamb earlier. Seemed to be thinking he was chasing something but god knows what.
During my time in Bristol University, I ended up doing a delivery job with my spare time for extra money. As I worked quite late, I began to see just how many urban foxes there are, and I was never too sure if they were a danger to me. I was certainly more on edge when I saw one, especially with the fact I was carrying food. Do foxes carry much threat to humans?

Always been very anti fox hunting. I understand that they can be very destructive when given the opportunity, and why farmers get very frustrated when entire flocks are destroyed for instance. Legally, they are well within their rights to destroy the vulpine killer by shooting them. Not got a problem with that, even though I'd still prefer the farmer built fox-proof animal housing.
Why, most of them think it is a great idea to let their peer group and well-off landowner chums get on horse-back and chase them with a pack of DOGS and to eventually tear them apart is beyond me. Cruelty beyond measure.
My ex-wife was brought up as a horse-loving, Young Farmer and Berkeley Hunt member, and when I was with her I guess I conformed my opinions to fit in with the family. Boxing Day meets and Pony Club were a Big Deal. Now, however, Oscar Wilde's statement absolutely rings true.
My ex witch-like mother-in law used to get SO pissed off if anyone referred to the hounds as DOGS, the old bag.
There’s a reason why Berkeley Hunt (berk) is rhyming slang...

Get him on the CBD. Honestly now it’s extraordinary stuff. One pipette a day preferably administered directly into his mouth, or failing that put it on his food. After a couple of weeks you’ll start to see the difference.

Only if you’re dead. They’d eat you with relish.

Maybe he's lasted so long because you've taken very good care of him?
That chasing 'something' remark, ours does that sometimes, it's just a silly 5 minutes I reckon. We all have them

The inevitable loosening of the lockdown will be a disaster for dogs and lead to massive psychological problems for their owners !
Live out in rural Oxon, quite a few hunts out our way. I gave a lift into Oxford one day one of our neighbour’s kids, lad about 16 at the time. Looking to strike up conversation to pass the half hour or so into Oxford I said...you into football, rugby, cricket...what’s your sport? Fox hunting he said...it was a long half hour that journey...😀
Oh,..Dave, what's occuring?

We’ve had some experience of this. The wife was off work for the whole of 2017 with illness. When she finally went back to work we were concerned that he’d struggle but he slipped back into the old routine easily enough.

It's not horse back so much now. They meet around here on quad bikes. 40 or 50 of them.

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Cheers. You’re right of course, dogs are creatures of habit. She’s just got used to getting under the duvet with us in the morning. Cue Notloyal.

Just to play devils advocate here, what’s the difference between fox hunting and fishing? Why is one considered a gentle relaxing wholesome activity and the other a cold, ruthless, evil bloodsport?
Do you eat fox after it being tore to bits by a dog?
