My views and conclusion
In my opinion, the fox is perhaps the most beautiful of all the animals which are native to the UK and, despite the fact that they may be a nuisance to farmers, due to the fact that they often kill small livestock, I oppose fox hunting. I think that hunting for sport in all cases that I can think of is unfair on the animal that is being preyed upon, but I think that in the end, the final decision should come down to the hunter. Foxes do cause a problem for many people, however I do not think that makes hunting foxes (or any animal for that matter) with dogs acceptable. There are much more humane ways of dealing with foxes if they are causing a problem, or risking a farmers livelihood. I think that it is even worse if the fox is not causing a problem, and instead is hunted purely for the enjoyment of the people chasing it, as is the case with many of the hunts which take place all over the UK.
I do agree with the fact that fox hunting is an ancient tradition in many parts of England, however I think that it is a tradition that needs to end, or at least be enforced more strictly. Despite the fact that many packs follow the rules and regulations set down by the government (such as dogs are only allowed to follow a synthetic scent) there is evidence that many individuals do not obey these rules, and in my opinion, that is unacceptable. I think that groups such as the NWHSA are a brilliant asset to everyone who opposes fox hunting. They rely entirely on volunteers, yet do such an amazing job at policing fox hunts and helping to prevent illegal hunting. I support the Islamic views towards hunting, as they believe that all no blood sports should be practiced, and I also agree with the Jewish views that hunting should not be done for fun, and it should only be done when completely necessary.
During this project, I have learnt a lot. At the start, I didn't really have an opinion on fox hunting, which was why I picked it as my topic to study because I wanted to look at every aspect of the debate. I achieved what I set out to achieve, and throughout the project I have developed my own views and opinions, and have found it very interesting to look at the arguments surrounding fox hunting in a lot of depth. I chose to make my project as a website to help you, the person reading this, make up your mind about what you think about fox hunting. I do believe that it is a very complex issue, and I think that the debate about it will carry on for years, but every persons view counts, so go on and share yours.
