This whole foxhunting thing baffles me. I can't really see much enjoyment out of walking around a forest for hours just to horribly mutilate a harmless creature. I mean, fair enough it kills chickens but it's only trying to get food to survive, foxhunting on the other hand, most certainly isn't essential to the survival of the human race. Maybe foxhunters have some massive ego problems and feel that they need to kill to place themselves above something. I dunno, it's just speculation.
But then I got to thinking (you can stop reading now). What does this sort of behaviour have to say about us as a species? What drives us to kill in this way? I mean, other animals kill, but that's for food, these guys need it in the wild. Even when your cat brings in a mouse and leaves it lying on the floor, it's meant to be a token of appreciation for it's owner. But killing for fun? I don't think there's any other animal that does that. If you can name one then please tell me cos this has been driving me nuts.
So yeah, upper class people suck, it's not a 'tradition'. It's bloodlust. Just fucking admit it, you're not fooling anyone.
