lily 21, My Dad had a pet red fox. "Spanky" went with him everywhere. I have a picture of the fox sitting on my Dad's lap.

UnopposedYogi27101, Please... you say 'we Brits' most brits voted to outlaw it, it is only the few eccentric snobs from upper class that partake in this barbaric sport, don't paint all brits like them.

I have wild foxes living in a field at the rear of my house they are beautiful to watch but I have seen a tail laying on the ground severed I wish I knew who did it I would like to do the same to them but it might be another part.

Ryuzaki, as abhorrent as it was, fox hunting was nothing to do with the fur trade. And it's nowhere near as barbaric as the school shootings and lynch mobs that the USA continue to have on a regular basis. Go USA!

Ryuzaki, I don't know why people are giving you thumbs-down for saying we don't need fur in 21st century. Maybe it's because it's nothing to do with fix hunting but, you're absolutely correct, we don't.

I wonder if horses like people riding them. I doubt it.

I used to have a Yorkshire terrier that would somehow get out and at 3am would come home with about 4-5 foxes. I’m sure he thought he was one of them lol

I have foxes who come to my garden.I leave eggs out for them & have seen them very carefully take them 1 by 1 back into the wood where they live.

Player Turtle Rox, That's my kind of person. My son wants a pet fox. Currently, we have 3 cats, so I'm not sure how that'll work.

UnopposedYogi27101, I'm a Brit, born and bred in Melton Mowbray, and like my family and friends and most people I know, I am very opposed to this activity.... it's so cruel and upsetting. Most Brits are against it.

Well, if the practice is actually as portrayed in movies & on TV, it is very unsporting. A group of hounds along with a bunch of guys on horseback chasing a poor, harmless little fox seems useless & cruel to me. I mean c'mon - a fox nab's a chicken now & then - what's the terrible harm in that? Little fellow is only doing what comes naturally to him. He doesn't know any better & he'd probably leave your chickens alone if you'd only put out a dish of scraps for him. Surely it would be cheaper than all the trappings of a foxhunt.

The only pests there, were the cruel aholes how chased them down and had their dogs tear the live animal apart. How can anyone calling themselves civilized do this.

lily 21, They're nice to watch, but don't try to touch - they are wild animals & can bite, & they can carry diseases like rabies.

Player #8315143, Thanks to Auto Correct, I didn't get to finish my comment (I was trying to go back & correct "wutnesses" to the proper spelling). The only other thing I was going to say is that murder by guns is running rampant in this city - there have been multiple reports of 20 or more people being killed in a weekend, even 2 that I remember where that many have been killed in 24 hours. It's madness, & the police & legislators can't figure out how to stop it.
