Fox hunting today is always thought of as men in red coats on horseback riding through the fields with a pack of dogs but it was not always as civilised as this. ... However, nowadays the need to hunt for food is almost eliminated and hunting is now mainly used as a sport. ... The actual hunting consists of the hounds searching out a fox and then chasing it until it cannot run from them any longer. However, the way in which the fox is killed has been widely disputed.
When I asked those opposed to fox hunting about the killing of the fox I was told by them that once the fox is caught it is ripped to pieces by the hounds. ... However, I realise that I must weigh up both sides of the argument to get a fair conclusion so I asked the chairman of my local fox hunting club about this matter and he told me that when the fox is caught it is killed instantly by the lead hound who breaks its neck, it is not ripped apart. I realise that this is a much more humane death but I still think that the fox must go through a lot of stress and anxiety before it dies as it is being chased to exhaustion by a pack of dogs.
