1. 526 x £50k fine…

   This could be a cheeky £26.5m windfall if we punished it properly…

2. I think we should hunt the hunters with high powered paint ball guns.

3. You think they even stopped for one weekend after the ban came in 20 odd years ago?

4. Probably more times than people genuinely attempted voter fraud in the last decade.

5. I’m sure these will be investigated with the same gusto as a poor people crime.

6. We have almost no wild animals left in the UK so why not let the privileged rich kill what few creatures remain for kicks and giggles /s

7. Bent cops and judges allow this to continue, they literally belong to the hunting groups.

   They should all be fired for being corrupt filth

8. Huh, over the last year there have been 526 incidents… over the last 13 years there have been 438 convictions.

   I know these figures aren’t everything, you’d need more of a complete picture to analyse this properly, but it does kind of fit with the impression that most people have that Fox Hunting largely goes unpunished. One rule for the rich innit.

9. Australia here. Come hunt our foxes to your hearts content so they don’t destroy our native wildlife.
