Foxes hunt, why shouldn they be hunted?
Foxes are predators, they have to kill other animals in order to survive. Human beings choose to kill foxes for “sport”. It is not the same thing at all; foxes have no choice, we do. 109 People only do it for the thrill of the chase But you don’t have to kill to enjoy the thrill of the chase. Fox hunters can (and many do) have just as much fun chasing a trail of artificially laid scent (drag hunting) or point-to- pointing. ZOOS 110 Zoos propagate endangered species There are nearly 6,000 species of mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish and invertebrate in danger of extinction. Another 578 are listed as vulnerable. It has been estimated that, every day, between 50 and 100 species of plant or animal become extinct through loss of habitat, poaching or pollution. A tiny handful of species has been saved by captive breeding programmes in a few of the ‘better’ zoos but in view of the enormity of the problem this can only be a token gesture. The only real solution is the complete protection
