Fox Hunts?

In Britain, some people used to hunt foxes on horseback and with the help of dogs. This was a cruel form of hunting and it was outlawed in 2004. In North Yorkshire, many fox cubs have been found in a barn. Suspicions are they were kept there in order to be hunted in the old, outlawed way. The cubs are now taken care of in a sanctuary and will eventually be released into the wild. I hope everything goes well with them. It will be interesting to get to know more, if more information will be discovered.

Hunting is a good thing, as long as it does not involve animal cruelty. Foxes hunt. Dogs hunt. Humans hunt. It is just that we do not have to do it in a cruel way. If deer or mooses are just shot cleanly, everything is nice.
