I have to add to the criticism of David Hankey's support for fox hunting, justified by the killing and damage foxes cause.

Now surely, whether foxes are guilty or not, it doesn't justify them being chased and ripped to pieces.

In the film The List of Adrian Messenger, the hunt master tells the protester: "I am the hunter and the fox is there to be hunted". To David Hankey, that's it in a nutshell.
