Government Realises Hardly Anyone Wants To Tear Apart Small Animals

The government has postponed a vote on letting people tear apart small animals for sport.

@VictoriaLIVE who cares about vermin foxes. They are only bloody animals and vicious ones to boot. Ask our dearly departed pet rabbit!

Only a tiny minority of incredibly angry people supported the bloody pastime.

Yes, town dwellers, foxes are VERMIN. Not cute, not sweet, not to be fed and protected! https://t.co/fADmuAiMIA

But this did not deter the tiny minority.

Too many people bought up on basil brush / foxy woxy thinking foxes are cute, they are not, they cruel sadistic vermin, lift fox hunting ban

Foxes are a major problem, hunting is vermin control. I've had chickens decimates several times by foxes @VictoriaLIVE

@Communitaria71 I continue to support drag hunting as a sport and that foxes are shot as part of farmers' vermin management controls.

Scottish people also pointed out that nobody really liked the idea of murdering small animals for fun.

Some people did suggest an alternative.

I want to hunt some truly vile vermin, on horseback. Can I hunt my local Tories? Don't want things to get pestilential, do I? #foxhunting

I can think of one change to existing laws on hunting that most people would support.. pic.twitter.com/bvGrc5YqcG
