Lets go shoot some people?!

No? OK, lets take it out on a innocent animal instead then, just for fun!
So, the conservatives are in and that means fox hunting is back in all its sick twisted glory. It was banned finally a few years ago when some one actually had some sense and emotion. And now the old fashioned robots are back running the country, we have a lot of shit to expect, As with most parties, lets face it, but i particularly hate the conservatives with a passion. One of my biggest reasons for this is because of the hunting, for a sport.
Animals would never kill us unless they felt threatened or are starved and need to hunt to survive. So what gives us the right to kill them pointlessly, just for fun, when we really don't need to! I defiantly doubt its because we are threatened! I played with a wild fox once when i was younger, the word threatened didn't even enter my mind, more like amazing that such a wild animal trusted me enough to allow for us to play together. That moment stayed with me, and i would hate to think some boisterous snobby control freak on a power trip would kill that fox, just for fun! It actually breaks my heart. Through out my little life I have had a lot of amazing small experiences with wild animals, I seemed to have been slightly obsessed with them when i was little. Perhaps from watching one too many Disney movies. I have had a wild deer walk right up to me, only to run off when there was scuffling in the bush behind me, a field mouse fall asleep on my feet, the fox i played with and a few more. So naturally, I feel a connection with all animals, I think they are so precious and the only species not set on destroying this planet. I personally believe we could learn allot from them if we respected them more and worked on earning their trust, as tey do give it to you, all it takes is a little patience and a kind heart.
Shooting to survive...fine, I can understand that, as almost every animal kills to survive. However we're surviving a little too well, and its really not necessary anymore. we can even survive without meat full stop! So why are we doing this? From fox hunters i have met in the past, having lived in various countrysides, they all just seem set on having a power trip...and nothing else! I don't like people who do things for the sake of feeling like they have power over something, especially something innocent, be it a child, a animal, or a innocent person. Nothing justifies this to me for any of those things and nothing will ever change my mind to think it is OK to be killing beautiful, innocent wild beings for the sake of a sport! Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind a bit of sport, as long as it involves a ball, a racket and net perhaps, but not the kind that involve weapons and a innocent being!
