For fox's sake...

So today marks the end of fox hunting in the UK. How sad. I shall miss it so....

In some ways I am pleased. I am by no means an animal rights activist but in the overall balance of things, fox hunting in my opinion is just unfair - a load of well-to-do people chasing a "poor little fox" through the countryside shouting "tally-ho" to their hearts' content. I understand the argument that foxes can be considered as vermin, but argue in the way in which they are disposed of. Possibly natural? I am not so sure.

However on the discussion of vermin, what about the hundreds of people held in prisons at enormous expense under charges of abuse to children? Lets leave the foxes alone and lets have some genuine vermin to chase. "Oh dear, the hounds killed them all, damned shame, never mind, bring out the next bus load please"

Now I'm on a serious rant, lets also consider the experimentation on animals for drugs. Why? We have prisons bursting to the seams with the above-mentioned sick perverted b*stards who would yield more useful results than those from a chimpanzee or lab rat. Here we have some actual people to experiment with. If they are really being held in the name of repaying their debt to society, then let's get some value back for our hard earned taxes. Inject them with all of the experimental sh*t from kingdom come as an investment to those of us left behind who make it a better world to live in.

While I'm on a roll, why no apply the same rules to young hooligans who rob the elderly? Once they get an idea of suffering from Alzheimers at the age of 16, they may think twice about the brave mugging of poor little Granny at the bus stop. Suddenly the idea of a few weeks in a holiday centre for the "morally inept" becomes less of a soft option and more of a force to be reckoned with.

Wishful thinking? Or are we approcahing "Vote for Seany" time...
