Foxes are vermin. Ask the farmers whose LIVE lambs (not stillborn, as suggested in another posting) and chickens are killed, or those urban families whose children have been attacked by foxes, whether they are cute and cuddly. Fox hunting is the most natural and humane way of controlling the fox population.
The government should not listen to people who want hunting banned because of class prejudice, which has no place in the 21st century, or because townies want to change the natural ways of the country, which is none of their business.
