Then there is the opposing view (which I don't share) that foxes are pests for livestock owners and killing them in this way is legitmate.Simoba wrote: ↑Wed Apr 19, 2023 7:42 pmUnfortunately horses and hounds are not chasing decoy scents. They are still actively (and illegally) hunting. It was on the news tonight apparently, I have not seen it so cannot comment, just saw it on social media earlier.The Silk Run wrote: ↑Wed Apr 19, 2023 7:09 pmI don't know much about this subject but is it just thoroughbred Horse Racing under attack by animal rights campaigners.
Does it include eventing, dressage, polo, p2p, etc. I know hunting has been under attack for a long time.
I'm not entirely sure where this is heading, in United Kingdom that is !!! You already have Horse & Hounds chasing decoy scents, and greyhounds chasing a Duracell Hare on a lure. Next they will have remote controlled robot jockeys on Race Horses.
Hmmmmmm ......

If this is true, you really do wonder what makes some people tick, how their time is spent deliberately inflicting suffering on another sentient being. There are some despicably cruel and worthless pieces of humanity.
I do wonder how you control the fox population but perhaps that question is straying from the thread already.
I think no-one on here would willingly watch horse race knowing a horse will come crashing down and try to recover with a clearly broken leg. It's a tough one.
