I agree it was amusing and had the capacity to become more so. The matador clips when the tables get turned can also provide a level of amusement. Live by the sword etc...
I think one particular thing that is morally wrong about both those ‘sports’ is the odds that are involved. They are consciously stacked against the animal in order for humans to derive pleasure from their suffering. I fail to see how anyone can justify that and I also fail to see what meaningful difference there is between fox hunting and dog and cock fighting or bear baiting, not that you’ll see anyone in public life openly trying to decriminalise any of those.
I saw a comment from some wildlife expert the other year who said if a bunch of young lads were videod chasing a cat down a street and kicking it to death the country would be asking for them to be jailed for life, so what's the difference?
I see this or similar scenarios now used by the Sabatoures to highlight the lack of condemnation.
I do have to salute Chris Packham though he lays into the hunts every year and won't give up highlighting the flaunting of the law
