Mr Heliums Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Having looked after hens I can't tell you the level of fear and menace foxes cause for owners. ^^^ This. Fox-hunting is immoral, but having seen foxes terrorise and kill chickens seemingly for the thrill of it, I can't get worked up about the supposed cruelty of it all. But it really has nothing to do with Scotland. If the SNP votes on this, it opens the door to having to vote on every issue. We can't be England's moral compass.

Does it really need a posse tae chase a wee fox. Remember they're no daein' it oot o' necessity but oot o' enjoyment. The sick b*****ds.

Jacksgranda Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The borders is toffland anyway, its all the same. In the event of independence I'd happily give it to England most of them want that anyway. How would that affect the divvying up of the oil fields come independence? A lot? A little? No difference whatsoever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gullane No 4 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 For the humans foxhunting it is a very dangerous sport. Many are seriously injured and even die following the fox on horse back. H&S should, IMO, ban it and allow gassing and terriers to control the vermin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The fox hunting bill. Don't know, probably will. If they do I'd expect it to split - Sinn Fein No show as per DUP- probably vote for reintroduction so 8 yes UUP - could vote 1 for and 1 against (assuming it is a free vote) 1 yes 1 no SDLP - vote against 3 nos Lady Sylvia Hermon - vote against 1 no So 9 yes, 5 nos But that's all guess work on my part, the DUP could vote no if the government ask them too (not sure if Cameron is keen on fox hunting or is just putting this bill forward to appease some of his grass roots), or they could abstain. It certainly wasn't mentioned in any of the party manifestos which I perused assiduously, before exercising my franchise. I don't think 4 yeses from NI would swing it - maybe it would.

Crùbag Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 You must be suffering today 'champ'! Stop avoiding the question. Are you a veggie/ vegan? Do you join the Hunt Sabs? Respect, if you do. I know a few myself. Otherwise, you're not exactly 'doing what you can' to stop animal cruelty then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already had my quota for the year. I hope there's someone else who is not hungry. Everybody in the UK eats a chicken every 3 weeks, approximately, according to those figures. That's everybody, which includes babies, vegans, vegetarians and people who don't like eating chicken. Seems a lot, but if you take pre-packed ready meals like chicken kiev, Kentucky-type fried chicken, chicken dippers, chicken goujons, sandwiches which contain chicken it would soon add up. We used to have chicken every Sunday, fed 4 of us usually enough left over for sandwiches the next day, we would have had chicken curry (made from chicken fillets, not the left over chicken) once a week/fortnight, so I suppose every 4 weeks we each ate a chicken, which isn't far off the average of one every three weeks. I'm surprised we "only" chomp our way through 18 million turkeys, though, and 2.6 million cattle. that works out at only half a cow each per year.
