I can think of a good many things to worry about that are far more 'wrong' than fox hunting.
E.g. Preteens getting pregnant, sex offenders living amongst us, alcohol fuelled violence every single night, irresponsible driving causing death.
None of which are particularly cutesy or poster-worthy causes though, and certainly there are a lot of cruel or otherwise inhumane 'sports' and pastimes that don't get treated the same draconian way as fox hunting.
Fishing and greyhound racing, for example are not particularly savoury yet seem to escape persecution, perhaps in part because they are enjoyed, or seen to be enjoyed by the 'have-nots'.
I do rather support fox hunting, but I'm indifferent to whether or not it is 'right' - for who are we to decide that?
To a farmer who is beset by foxes I suspect it is right, but to animal-carey types it's not right at all. I wonder how they would feel if the fox weren't so darn cute.
What do we want? an end to rat traps.... when do we want it? erm, we don't... rats are mean looking.
Nope, in fact the biggest issue for me on this one is that 'generally' (and that means yes I am deliberately generalising, or using a perceived average) - generally whenever one sees a protestor against fox hunting they fail to mention the fox, but will happily chorus on end about a "load of poncy stuck up rich people out for jollies".... which always makes me feel that somehow it's the "well off" and the country set that they resent, not the fox dying.
Protesting is easy. Finding a viable, workable and useful alternative is difficult. Want to end fox hunting? Fine, but you'll remove an enjoyable and profitable event for an entire community - OK not your sort of party but then yours mightn't be theirs either.
I think what annoys me most about fox hunting is actually the protestors. Being positive is coming up with creative solutions. Shouting about how awful something is does not creative positives, only negatives.
I don't think negativity ever did much to be applauded.
