RECENTLY the RSPCA rescued three fox cubs purposely bred to guarantee a kill for a hunt in North Yorkshire.
This shatters the pro-hunting argument that foxes have to be killed to protect farm animals. Hunts are not allowed to harbour cubs yet how many more are held in captivity?
Fox hunting isn't about pest control, it's about people who enjoy killing animals and hunting must be outlawed. The Government must push through MP Michael Foster's private bill to ban hunting by the deadline of July 2.
