Update 23 May, 2017 --
Theresa May wants to bring back foxhunting. She included it in her GE2017 manifesto.
At present, fox hunting is banned but it is still done. No stopping by police or any prosecution because the Elite likes it and are protected by the Tory Government.
UPDATED: 14 July, 2015 --
Scottish National Party announced that they will vote against David Cameron's plan to bring back fox hunting. The voting on Wednesday was now cancelled. Cameron will bring in an English vote for English law only. This would ensure that he will win to cancel the Fox Hunting Ban.
When David Cameron's plans are in doubt of success he will manoeuvre everything to ensure success. DEMOCRACY?
UPDATE: 15 MAY, 2015 -- The Tories have won the election and David Cameron is already busy with getting a new fox hunting act through Parliament. You would think he has more urgent business to attend to, such as their economy which dropped down to 0.3 percent GDP, the immigration which run into 250,000 a year, the NHS above all, but apparently not.
The red fox has a reputation of being
elusive since it hunts mainly at night and especially solitary. It has a sharp
intelligence, also cunning, an acute hearing and a great sense of smell. Foxes
lead a solitary life mostly. In December, when the mating season starts, the
male gives three short barks and the vixen answers back with an eerie scream.
Cubs are born around the middle of March.

Facts about the red fox
Scientists discovered that they are
quite social creatures. The discovery was done with radio-tracking and
night-vision equipment. Through this equipment they could study them and their
behaviour. Sometimes, a male and female pair were mating and breeding on their
own. They also discovered that a dog fox lives with as many as five vixens.
This study also showed that younger females are usual from previous breeding
season. Young males leave the group and find themselves other females to form a
group.
Some young vixens, instead of having
young ones themselves, help to bring up the baby red foxes in the group. This
helps to bring even more food and gives more protection against predators. The
conservationists have not yet discovered about the helpers whether they do
breed the next season.
Hoarders for lean times
Red foxes bury surplus kills and eggs
from ground-nesting birds.
This may explain when they get into a
chicken run why they kill every bird. Their instinct is to kill and kill to
provide food for lean times. Although they never can take the birds away with
them. It is the sheer number of food in front of his nose and easily to kill in
comparison to the wild.
It has also been discovered, that
foxes secrete their prey. They also have a good memory where they bury their
kill.
AS CUTE AS THE PICTURE LOOKS BUT SURELY THE PET RABBIT IS NOT MEANT FOR HIS DINNER |
Streetwise Mr Reynard
You can find or see red foxes in the
Cities. During the day it is lying in the shade, in some corner, and watching
the going on, while he is resting but always alert. This is a fox which grew up
in a city and adapted his habit accordingly. He knows his territory and always
looks for food and lodging. He feeds on various leftovers or natural.
They were seen in the most amazing
places such as London Tower Bridge and walking along a car assembly line in
Oxford. In Bristol it is thought that there were 21 adult foxes per sq mile. In
a study it was noticed that they prefer the parks, suburban gardens, playing
fields and patches of wasteland.
Small mammals, birds and earthworms
are a third of their diet. The rest of it is from human left-overs; compost
heaps and rubbish bins where they are in competition from dogs and cats. In
late summer and autumn they add fruit and blackberries to their diets.
Naturalists think that foxes went
into towns in 1950 when there was a wipe out of 95 % of the rabbits which is
the foxes main food supply. After the rabbit population recovered the red foxes
did not return to the countryside.
At the moment they multiply so much
in London they becoming a danger to the public and there were a number of
attacks on children and also found inside homes. Conservationists are all
against red fox hunting but if they becoming a danger something has to be done but not ripped apart, alive, by bloodhounds..
