“The bunny problem in this country was addressed by labour who released miximatousis into the countryside, which causes blindness and suffering until the rabbit starves or is caught! And they call us hunters cruel!”

“I am not, "Pro Hunting", I am however "Pro Choice" and it is a sad thing, that the members of both the pro and anti lobby, do themselves no favours, with their stupid comments and arrogant behaviour. I personally, see no need whatsoever for hunting as a "public spectacle sport", however I do see a need for hunting certain animals. Foxes cause massive damage to chickens and will kill many more than they wish to eat. They are vermin and as such, hunting them with dogs is an efficient way of controlling those that cause the most damage. IE the old and weak foxes who seek easy prey IE Chickens. Deer hunting however is a different ball game. Deer are large easy targets which can be culled by rifle, with ease by a marksman. There is no need for a host of hounds to rip a deer apart for the edification of the hunt followers. Also venison is edible, so the meat from shot deer is a useful addition to the food chain. These however are my personal views and I do not seek to impose them on others. Hunting of all sorts will always be an emotive issue, but in reality, what is worse? To hunt an animal, where it has some chance of escape and the fittest will survive, or to breed animals in metal pens, fed on chemicals and additives until they are executed to feed us? I know which of the chances I would rather take.....”

“In actual fact Judi lynx are significant predators of foxes and were common animals here. Check the literature.

As you know I don't kill for fun I choose to control the deer on my land without killing them.

Chris Gale has publically opposed my campaign to remove the requirement to kill the deer I flush out.”

“What an Idiotic response from M Lewis and Giles Bradshaw! Just goes to prove that they don't have an argument to support their views on killing for fun.
For a start foxes were never the natural prey for wolves. Secondly predatory animals kill only because threy have to in order to survive. Moronic so called hunters kill because they find it fun - in other words sadistic and in my view sub-human!
Keep up the great work Chris - there are loads of people who support and admire the work you do.”

“With the very greatest6 respect Daryl but you do not have a clue what you are talking about.

The people who you refer to are following the hunt and the Hunting Act does not apply to them. It only applies to the people in charge of the dogs.”

“What total drivel, equating the barbaric (and illegal!) act that is hunting with hounds to what happens in nature is missing one vital point - in nature the animal that is hunted by predators is not followed by & supported/assisted by a group of ignorant blood thirsty aristo's caught up with their own self importance to think that the law does not apply to them - ho would they feel if while out hunting they were burgled because the intruder chose to beleive that he didn't like the law so just ignored it? It makes you think doesn't it!”
