    Do me a favour if anyone sees these upper class toffee nosed **** with their throughbreds, tell them to **** off out of your locality. I am invaded with these low life scum and their "hot toddys" and "hot h-oranges" (hot whiskey, but thats too common for them to say) in my local villiage in Meath where they muck the place up and chase some poor animal across fields. I certainly will be doing my best to annoy these elitest ****ers on Stephens Day.

    Happy Xmas

    :D

    You should go rambo style, Spiked hole's in the ground, logs with spikes flying out of tree's etc. What gets my goat, is that once the brits ban hunts, where do you think all those dicks are gonna go for hunting.

    I don't like horses or horsey types so I'd have no probs with this.
    Lets face it, the toffs spend a lot of time blowing their bugles - why can't we join in with the car-horns??? Oh no, it might frighten their horses. Boo hoo. What about the foxes then?

    Good to see the spirit of idiocy is alive and well. What hunt are you talking about? Where do you live? Because there's not many fox hunts left in the east of Ireland, most are drag hunts.

    Hunts are just as entitled to gather in villages outside pubs as you are to gather with your mates. Are you even from the country or did you just move there from Dublin because it's cheaper??

    Not to get into this tired old debate, but I hope you enjoyed your christmas dinner and are aware of the life and death your turkey and ham had.

    Also : Please read what I posted before going on about *fox* hunting.

    You left out that bit about the fox getting ripped to shreds by a pack of hounds in your synopsis of the hunt. I think dahmasta was just reminding you of that little fact rather than passing judgement.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,846 ✭✭✭✭eth0_


    What I SAID was that there are few fox hunts in that area, and it's probably a DRAG HUNT that the original poster was pissing and moaning about.

    And besides, he seemed more concered with his jealousy of the 'posh' hunters than the life of a fox. Most hunters are farming people, not 'posh' people.

    This thread isn't about whether fox hunting is right or wrong. I've gone hunting many times but i'm not a supporter of fox hunts.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 704 ✭✭✭rander00


    Errrr, most hunters are not farmers.
    The majourity are posh ****, that nearly wudnt know what the muck was if they fell off their little gee gees.

    Wow your jealousy of 'posh' people is astounding. Trust me, most are farmers or regular working class people who happen to own a horse. Owning a horse is no longer the preserve of the stinking rich, chief.

    I bet you're the type of person who moved from northside Dublin out to Meath, and complain about farmers leaving muck on the roads and such. You don't even care about the animal rights, you just begrudge them their lifestyle.

    In short, get a life and stop whinging.

    Don't you have anything better to worry you stupid stupid plank?

    If you really had any concern for animal welfare you'd be more worried about how that ham got on your plate at Christmas, but that would be far too complicated for a fúcking simian like you.

    Plus you wouldn't be able to slag off people you're secretly jealous of.

    You make me fúcking sick.

    tell me they dont go out hunting in drag , the poor fox wouldnt stand a chance , he would sit there in shock looking at them thinking "whaaat the f*ck???" and forget to run

    most unfair :(

    Oh how well you speak for all those of us who live in the country, :rolleyes:

    I couldnt give a **** for animal rights, have lived in the country all my life, and have no fúcking tolerance for a bunch of rich ****s. Fact is only wannabe west brits go to the trouble of chasing a fox for 3 miles before ripping it apart. The rest of us simply use a gun :rolleyes:.

    Some questions:

    If the hunt comes to a property where the landowner has been asked for permission to cross will the hunt stop? (I doubt it)

    Who is responsible for cleaning all the animal excrement on the public roads?

    Fact is hunting with dogs is being banned in the country of its origin because the vast majority or people belive it is cruel behaviour from a distant past.

    Fact is that me, and most of the people round me (not from dublin or the city :rolleyes:) have no tolerance for toff wanna be's who think that by wearing a wax jacket, driving a land rover and ripping a fox apart think they can turn this country in to England and will magicly recieve a lordship.

    I don't think there was a public vote to ban fox hunting in the UK (correct me if i'm wrong), so at the end of the day it wasn't a vote by 'the majority of people'.

    As for animal excrement....eh, they're entitled to ride their horses on public roads and ride them on roads whether there's a hunt or not.

    If you want to be so pedantic - what about all the pollution your car causes in the countryside?

    No comparision.
    And why is it Im under the impression that most hunts congregate in the local village or town. So is it okay for dog owners to not clean up after themselves now? . It isnt a public health issue? And most Importantly who foots the bill for the cleaning?

    Also you didnt awnser the trespassing issue.

    Would they stop mid-hunt?

    Oh and the house of commons is where elected representives reflect the wishs of their voters. The majority of mp's voted hunting down, thus One might assume the wish of the people was granted. You wanna argue about the merits of representive democracy Vs Direct democracy, Ill see you on philosiphy or politics.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭Flukey


    They can go and have their day out. They can meet with all their friends. They can ride around the countryside and have all the fun they want, but they don't have to kill foxes to do it. There is no justifiable reason for fox-hunting, not one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,579 ✭✭✭Pet


    I'm as much for animal rights as anyone else, I'm a vegetarian ffs. And yes, I disagree with foxhunting, on the grounds that it's unnecessary in this day and age. But there's nothing wrong with drag hunting, and it's not a preserve of the "upperclass". Lots of people own horses, and the hunt is more of a social event for them than anything else.

    And I don't like walking in horse****, but I'd rather that than pollution from cars.

    There are 2 way's of owning and keeping a horse:

    A: you can afford it, Ie stables food and upkeep. Which if you can means your station is probably above average.

    B: You breed and/or sell and have a horse a matter of your occupation.

    Either way it aint a poormans sport, least you borrow a horse. And even then that wont be cheap, the cloths wont be cheap and the event wont be cheap.

    See why some might see it as "upper class" ?

    Also to be honest, If anyone wants to gather in anyway theyre welcome to do so, but only if they pay due respect to those around them. I have a suspicion hunts dont respect property rights, cos I dont see a hunt stoping mid stream over permission to pass on someones land, and that a path cant be planned out.

    Also considering Irish history, I feel that hunts are incompatible here. This aint england, and I dont wish to encourage any activity that brings misty eyed colonial romantics over to disrepect this country and its people. I see too many lord wannabe's comming to my part of the world already and they are not appreciatied. Someone noted recently that only now are the decendants of the landlords are now starting to covet that which they lost and which their ancestors stole in the first place. Im not a pious nationalist, but this country and its scenic beauty are our inheritance from those who gave a damn. Sorry if that makes me somewhat territorial.

    Anyones welcome, just so long as they are considerate.

    And that mean's respecting property rights and taking responsibilty for everything including the goddam horseshít ! :)

    Actually, one of my friends had two horses when she was in secondary school, and she managed to pay for the upkeep (food, stables, blacksmith, injections) out of her part-time job wages, with no assistance from her parents. So it can't be that expensive.

    I hold as much disdain for the "colonial types" as you do, but they are few and far between. Maybe it's just my locality, but any of the hunt/horse-owning types I know are just ordinary country people - the kind who sing rebel songs in the pub. There's not a shred of elitism about them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 450 ✭✭ExoduS 18.11


    I agree with a ban on fox-hunting if it were to come around. I do not agree with the hassle of people who enjoy fox-hunting even though i disagree with there actions. Keeping a horse is not as steep as u think. My friend owns a horse and many of the equipment etc is relatively cheap. (horse stirrup (sp.) was 15E).
    Turkeys and pigs are common foodstuffs which are bread for food, how many times have you gone into a deli and asked for a fox sandwhiche with some mayonnaise to go?
    p.s if u are going to argue a case about the right and wrong of hunting, stick to the point of hunting. not about the "snobby" people who do it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,316 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    OK.

    2 things you people should know.

    1st;
    The people who dress up for the hunt usually follow a set route, and do it for the fun, with no foxes being killed.

    These may seem "posh", as we may see dressing up anything like the british monacry is "posh", thus those who dress up in the red & white may seem to be "posh". And yes, those who do it are often those who you'd sit next to in a pub. Its a passtime.

    Don't get me started on the elitist football supporter sum :p who "invade" our pubs, injure others, cause damage to public property...

    2nd;
    Also, there are farmers, who, after getting their lambs or hens killed by foxes, use dogs to kill the foxes.

    =-=

    I don't support the killing of foxes for the fun, but I do support it as a means to an end for pest-control.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭Flukey


    When it comes to fox-hunting the only pests and vermine are the ones sitting on top of the horses.

    Thats what I wanted a bit of banter, jesus without even replying much I get grief. I have an idea, lets have a hunt and get the hunters themselves. ! Eth00 or whatever your name is they cancelled the hunt so we could not annoy those toffee nosed bastards!

    I do come from Dublin,Clondalkin originally but am living down the country 15 years... well before the mass exodus from Dublin.

    I live in Enfield.... just in case anyone was wondering !
