I HAD not intended to become involved with the controversy of fox hunting, as politics and the misinformed seem to be the order of the day.

I attended many hunts, but Mike Foster, MP, if I read him correctly, only wants to take the fox out of hunting.

In countries where hunting takes place for fun, aniseed is used. This is commonly known as drag hunting.

And if a cull of foxes is required, any farmer with a 12-bore shotgun, a fox terrier, and few nets, would make short work of them and more humanely.
