My beefy long in the claw British blue gave Mr Fox a bloody nose last night, defending a neighbour's slow, fat old black and white cat. He def. won't be signing. |

There is a lot to say about fox hunting we have foxes .in the fields across from where we live .beautiful looking animals ..They do kill but that's what animals do to survive .its Barbaric how toffs on horses .think they can & their hounds chase & kill for Pleasure .Ban them for life .let them have a chase were no live animal will be slaughtered .they can still ride & the hounds will have a day out .no jobs lost or hounds put down Barbara |

Last winter, I had a splendid close-up view of a fox as few ever see him, in his perfection, with a full winter coat rich red in colour, a clean white collar and thick brush of a tail tipped again with white. At the foot of the hedge, he caught my scent and turned quickly with the look of an alarmed animal. We made eye contact for a brief moment and then he was gone faster than Usain Bolt. |

'The welfare of a fox or fox cub that is dragged from its underground refuge with the aid of spades, terriers & poles wrapped with barbed wire is certainly compromised, whatever about claims that the hunt 'dig-out' is part of a proud rural tradition'. (Irish Indo 26.03.14). |

Just signed & hope it works. Some traditions we need to keep but this is one we don't. |

And could this euphemism not also be applied to a hare that is terrorised, mauled & tossed about by dogs like a paper toy for the amusement of a crowd of gamblers & weird thrill-seeking sightseers? |

I've signed and if there's a petition to stop hare coursing I'll sign that too |

"a fox knows exactly where it wants to go and moves in a straight line" ... they don't or else they have a 6th sense when a rifle loaded with .22 Hornet is pointing at them. Hence the unfortunately popularity of traps. Since I last shot a fox more powerful weapons have come into use. |

AnnCardiff, Hare Coursing is already illegal in the UK, though of course it still goes on |

Despite Mr Cameron’s attempt, I doubt if foxes are pro-Tory. Lack of trust in politicians is good for their survival. |

My sentiments apply to all animals hounded by humans. |
