If I was an individual fox, I think I'd go for the former. So I support this law on ethical grounds. As a HUGE bonus, it will also piss off many wealthy British men. All the more reason to despise the bastards. I find it hypocritical of anyone without adequate knowledge of the industry to criticise it.
Fox hunting is good for the enviroment.
It's not an industry, it's a sport. It's true that hunting supports a certain amount of ancillary employment, but then so does bull-fighting, for instance. The thrill of riding a pack of hounds, on a good horse on Quorn Monday or Friday cannot be surpassed. One of the great joys, and charms of foxhunting is its uncertainty, which cannot be substituted by drag hunting. At least they're honest enough to accept that the only reason to join or follow a hunt is that it's a bloody good laugh.
