Lenin, 1913 posted:The majority at the [British Labour Party] Conference consisted of non-Socialists and extremely bad Socialists. But definite voices were heard indicating that the mass of the workers are dissatisfied with such a party and they demand that their M.P.s should do less playing at legislation and more socialist propaganda. Plus la change eh?

Pistol_Pete posted:Yeah, there's a large majority (including a large majority among the rural population) who firmly oppose it but there's a rich and well-connected minority with strong media connections who think it's just wonderful. As a result, the press reporting on this subject is slanted in the manner that you'd expect. As someone who semi-routinely goes hunting in the US, a fox hunt as I understand it isn't really much of a hunt. A huge pack of dogs and armed humans on horseback are going to run down a fox in short order once they find it. Beyond the cruelty of it, it's just a hell of a lot of noise and fuss to kill an animal that you can't even eat.

it’s a posh person way of doing crimes together to eternally bond themselves to each other, if you’re cruel enough to to tear apart a fox limb from limb you should be down to run a company and fire all the single mums because they’re asking for a 10p pay rise

TBF most of the work is in the breeding and maintenance of the fox populations they hunt. Wild foxes want to be in city suburbs where the bins/traffic ratio is best MikeCrotch posted:It's also a thing of poshos reminding the regular folk that they can go where and when they please, and you can't do anything about it. They also violently assault any poors that have a problem with either the cruelty or the noise! I've never really understood why Sab groups don't just go after them with crossbows and traps tbh, if anything you're less likely to face consequences than when you spend a few hours obstructing them before being beaten/shot/arrested

Beyond the cruelty of it, it's just a hell of a lot of noise and fuss to kill an animal that you can't even eat. The folk on horseback aren't armed. Terrier men frequently are but they'll rarely use guns to dispatch. The whole setup is designed to give a long chase rather than 'chopping' the fox rapidly. Ideally they want to get a solid chase from the fox without it going to ground - if that happens it'll be handed over to terrier men who will either flush with terriers to guns or hounds, or dig out and bag the fox to be released to hounds later. They've spent a lot of time figuring out how to make it as cruel of a bloodsport as possible.

Sabs get arrested for such major crimes as 'getting out of a landrover' and 'owning a hunting horn'. Pretty sure murdering folks with a crossbow isn't a winning strat.

Jesus Christ it's actually worse than I thought. I had an ex whose parents had a fat little terrier and a Fox living in the neighborhood found out about him and would stand in the backyard taunting him until the terrier went ballistic and chased him. Then the fox would breezily outpace and tease him the entire time until he ran completely out of gas and sulked his way home. It was one of the funniest things that I've ever seen, and the idea of just shredding a funny, mischievous animal like that for funsies is sick.

If you rely on dogs and horses the fox still might get away, so they also have yobs on quad bikes tracking it and telling the idiots on horses where to go.

Oddly enough the British press isn't reporting this as much as it should, but the United Kingdom and the BBC jointly made it to this year's Simon Wiesenthal Center Global Anti-Semitism Top Ten 2021 even without Jeremy Corbyn. Right behind Iran and Hamas even. https://www.wiesenthal.com/assets/pdf/global_anti-semitism_2021_top_ten.pdf (Link goes to a PDF) I'm sure Keir Starmer will take notice of this any minute now.

It's extremely common for the hunt to have pigs in their pockets. The CA have done a lot of work within the police to win them over, and to ensure that hunt liason and countryside officers are all hunt scum. ACAB gently caress em

Legally speaking it's entrapment to make you give someone a wedgie on purpose, which is what I'm doing if I see one of these contraptions. Really, the urge is so strong it feels almost like a Manchurian Candidate kind of thing.
