Riding is all I think about. I want to explore all aspects of riding, Fox hunting is a big one for me. Not experiencing fox hunting would be really disappointing. I want people to really understand fox hunting. It's not murdering a fox after a brutal chase, people need to understand. Please spread this information, fox hunting must stay.

The sport of fox hunting is now, after centuries, being challenged. Fox hunting is now banned in Scotland, England, and Wales since 2004. Englishman Robert Brooke brought hunting hounds, along with his horses to Maryland in 1650, starting fox hunting in the Americas. There is a reason that, in America, fox hunting is also called fox chasing. THE FOX IS ALMOST NEVER PURPOSELY KILLED!!!! The fox is only ever killed on purpose if it is sickly or weak, or if it is a threat to the fox population. Killed to put it out of its misery and to protect the other foxes from widespread illness.
Fox hunting helps, it keeps the fox population controlled. Five senior officials from anti-hunting lobbies have changed their minds and have resigned after having the realization of the dangers of a hunting ban. More than 500 veterinarians and academics associated with fox hunting have stated that hunting is a very NATURAL and HUMANE way of controlling the fox population. Plus in the UK, areas used for fox hunting have significantly higher butterfly and wildflower populations.

Currently a furbearer stamp is required to hunt, the fee for the stamp being nine dollars. Money collected from the stamp goes to the Wildlife 
Management and Protection Fund. People must hunt with a stamp or with a group that has a stamp. This is a perfect policy, no need to ban fox hunting- if anything strengthen this policy.
