Foxhunters - a protected ethnic minority?

[bluethrunthru]

Given the way most of these people tend to vote its surprising they want to resort to things like the Equality Act - something they would like to see disbanded - to help them win. Personally I think they have zero chances of success

Pro-foxhunting group says UK hunters should be protected ethnic minority

Chair of Hunting Kind says he has built legal case to obtain same protection as Roma and LGBTQ+ people

Entitled murdering pricks.

“We see it as a really important part of wildlife management … We’re actually doing people a service. We’re picking up the foxes or the hares or the deer or the rabbits that are either old, they’ve got no teeth, they can die of starvation, or they’ve got the disease, or they’re just not adapted to outperforming a dog in that chase. So we’re happy with that natural selectivity.”

I'd have a teeny bit more respect for these people if they just admitted they enjoyed it tbh. Because when they make up excuses like this, it sounds like they know they're trying to defend the indefensible.

If it does transpire that fox hunters meet the legal definition of being a protected group then the law needs redrafting asap. We already have transphobes wreaking havoc (particularly in the civil service) under this guise and these laws and designations are losing their power to protect groups they were originally meant to protect (i.e. groups who are actually being oppressed)

Sadistic, blood thirsty wankers. Im gutted when I accidentally step on a slug in the garden, fuck knows how they get a buzz out of ripping a fox to pieces

I hate toff activities like fox hunting but to be fair to them I think the idea that it is cruel is a stretch when most of us would stamp the fuck out of a mouse if there was one in the house. Mouse, rabbit, fox - not much difference really.

People love their animals but munch away daily on cow, sheep, chickens, etc without a problem.

And fuck "the animal rights extremist movement" - they are as bad as the toffs. Probably most are runaway toffs anyway.

God, the season can't come soon enough. :-)

Where my daughter lives in deepest Cheshire, they have these vile hunts a few times a year. I see them all lardy fuckin dah waving to each other, the fucked up chinless wonders. I just steam through bibbing my horn and giving the bastards the Vs. Horrible set of entitled cunts.

I'd feel guilty about it but I would anyway. I try to save spiders and even flies if I can by helping them out of the house. But if anything looks like it's fast then it's me or them.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

So this lot want 'absolute ****' to be a protected minority?

They need to take a good look around. Absolute cunts aren't really a minority these days.

Saw this yesterday - positioned themselves as though the fox hunters are some sort of endangered species.

Grow up FFS...........
