    If a cull is needed then there are better ways than a bunch of idiots out for some perverse version of 'fun'.

    Four or five of them sitting on the pillars along the gardens of the street wineing like foook the other night. Whole street awake. This fox business is getting out of hand.

    They dont look like fluffy cartoon foxes, they are the size of skinny labradors and look like zombie dogs with their mange.

    Something needs to be done before somebody trips over one of them early one dark morning and gets savaged by them.

    They dont run away anymore.

    What a pile of nonsense most notably your final line.

    It's not really a great way of controlling foxes though.

    Does what make a difference, being ripped apart by hounds (oh of course that doesn't happen does it? :)) or some humane killing - what do you think?

    Not at all just hate people who inflict terror and pain on an animal in the name of 'fun'.

    No thanks, I'm picky about the company I keep.

    It's now urban areas that have out of control fox populations.

    Have the hunts moved to the suburbs of Dublin to help combat this?

    That lot used to claim they were doing their civic duty to control foxes and they got dressed up in uniform for the fun.

    When their torture and cruelty were revealed, they now argue very few foxes are killed, it's just harmless fun chasing them!

    Was this their spokesperson?

    The 3 are from 2 of the most respected families in our community, great neighbors. your post says a lot more about you than them.

    You might respect their families, but they are behaving like absolute scum.

    And if my post says anything about me, it's probably that I don't enjoy violently ripping a beautiful animal to pieces just for shíts and giggles and that I think anybody that does is a sociopath.

    That might be true. I would say you prefer bickering about it online though, lets be honest here, you are more fond of getting nasty with your keyboard over some edgy topic like fox hunting?

    I like watership down , that does not give me the right to be hostile towards someone who enjoys rabbit stew.

    Get real.

    Maybe if bloody fool car drivers slowed down foxes and other animals and vunerable road users would stand a chance.

    I hope the car that hit this poor fella didn't get off too lightly. Shame on the driver.

    You do know it’s the dogs that do the actual killing in a foxhunt. No condemnation of their actions ?

    Have you or any of your friends tried to train these animals to use the pathways provided.

    The quick brown fox......................


    Wasn't!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,059 ✭✭✭Tuco88


    Bring back the big bad wolf... Its the circle of life. I can hear the whinging already... To sort out the wolf problem the polar bear will do the job.

    We can lure the polar bear into traps with foxes mints...

    Two of these were teenage girls. They are not doing this for fun at all, they are doing a service for their community. If you believe anyone gets a kick out of ripping an animal to pieces then I suggest you expand your horizons and learn more about your fellow countryman and woman.

    The unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable.

    I hope that's a poor attempt at humour! Otherwise it is a criminally stupid thing to say!

    Let's not lie here. Of course they are doing it for the fun, they enjoy the hunt. A gun licence would be more effective and humane. Foxes are creatures of habit and if there is a problem ones around, there are a lot easier ways of dealing with them that. If any farmer around here wants one dealt with, the hunt is the last ones they look for.

    They were teenage girls on horseback. Where I come from that is far more normal and gentile than giving them guns. They are not doing it for fun, it’s the only way we know how down here.

    I’d could count on one hand the amount of people I know with a registered shotgun and that’s the way it should be.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,201 ✭✭✭Man with broke phone


    Are the animal rights activists saying teenage girls on horseback need more guns?

    Why? It’s true.
    Do you not believe in personal responsibility?
    Why give the dogs a free pass?

    You sound like the type of person who says “I blame the owner” when a dog carries out an unprovoked attack on a person.

    I really don't like "bickering" about anything online. Nor was I the one who dragged a thread about a dead fox into a pro hunting thread. And fox hunting is not exactly "edgy".

    Not sure what being teenage girls has to do with anything. They are complete scum regardless of age or gender.

    And you are having a laugh describing it as "doing a service for their community". What service exactly is this? What community needs animals hunted and terrorised, vixens chased away from their cubs and, if caught, met with a brutal violent end? It's just like the scum who torture and kill stray dogs and horses in certain Dublin suburbs - I suppose they are also doing a service for their community?

    (FYI - It is actually the foxes who are doing the human community a service, keeping the vermin population under control).

    I know plenty of countrymen and women. None are scum who like fox hunting though. It really is the last bastion of the inbred hick.

    Those hunts are nothing but a hassle.
