I take it you are a hear say kind of person. Here is some good hear say The Insurance Institue for Highway Safety reports that there are more than 1.5 million crashes annually in the U.S. involving deer alone, costing an estimated $1.1 billion in vehicle damage.In 2007 there was over 10,000 injuries and 200 deaths. Just thought I would put that in . How many of the crashes , injuries ,and deaths do you think were in Florida. The hunters help keep the wildlife numbers under control. Maybe Florida needs to keep the hunters in the state. SO I know this is a blog about the fox pen , but most fox hunters are deer hunters too

18 Responses to “Fox Pen Ban ” Out of the other 14 people that wrote their comments on this subject. Have any of you every been to a fox pen.Have you ever been inside one , spoke to someone that has ,or are you just going on hear say. All that the FWC and Humane Society did is force the Florida fox hunter to go into ALABAMA . So out of state hunting license $ 275 per hunter per year will go to the GREAT STATE OF ALABAMA .Also the gas ,food ,and other items that the BIG BAD FOX HUNTERS will buy is most likely going to be bought in Alabama too.Keep forcing the Florida hunter in to Alabama . I bet they are loving it !!!!!!!!

Hunting an animal in its environment is normal and the humane method, for food, but to pen them and give them no chance is not sportsmanship it is
cruelty. Hogs are penned and shot, deer are penned and shot, not to mention many other animals, man makes a fortune selling the right for another to enter a totally fenced reserve and kiil, wheres the sport in that? You would think that Man, supposedly superior over animal, would have the pride in a “fair hunt” not just to take trophys but to use the meat………… Sad, what has Man come to.

If things aren’t bad enough as it is these days. Lets have another family lose their livelyhood. Are they going to be compensated for their lose of business by the County or Government? I love animals, but they are just that, animals, they are not above any human life. That is why our GOD breathed life into us and we have a soul, animals were created but no soul.

C, and Oldmarine have the right attitude, They haven’t outlawed fox hunting nor have they outlawed fox breeding (although they did get snake breeding outlawed, and that still seems suspicious to me as a lot of snake breeders i knew in Florida did it for the anti-venom) its just penned hunting that they are getting shut down and really why is that a problem? Richard also raises an interesting question too.

I meant “Animals be torn apart by another one.” not dogs.

From this bleeding heart.
Shame on all you people who claim your religious and go to church on Sunday,
and then go out and scare an animal to death and claim it’s the only way to feed
your family, hunt, or be Free Men.
Do you really think this kind of hunting is what GOD had in mind?
Some of you like to mention Daniel Boone, do you think he would have
approved of watching dogs be torn apart by another animal, or penning one
up so he could chase it down where he couldn’t lose?

Funny I though Daniel Boone was a hero and a FAIR MAN.
I know MY GOD IS~

Nobody is taking hunting and fishing away. This is not a bleeding hearts issue. This is an animal cruelty issue. Nobody said not to eat beef or anything else. I didn’t read any comments that suggested anything of the sort. It’s so ironic that people are talking about the taking of freedom when they are condoning putting an animal in a pen and scaring it to death. That’s not wild life. That’s not nature.

Why is it if a small group says its cruel to eat beef, pork, fish or any thing that GOD put on earth for us to eat, they get there way, WHAT HAPPEND TO THE MAJORITY RULES ????, It probley will be outlawed to say Hi or Hello to ppl, we have to controll the wildlife to keep them from getting over populated and dying from starvation, THATS ALL WILD LIFE !!!!!!!!!!, Taking Americans freedoms away is a good way to start a war, some time its best not to mess with the sleeping dog, the bleeding hearts need to live on a working farm and work and deal with live stock and wildlife for a year and they would know that butter comes from milk and milk comes from cows, Ham, bacon and sausage come from hogs,
THATS THE CIRCLE OF LIFE ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! , and no i have not used a fox pen,
MAY GOD BLESS YOU

i totally agree w/ C and oldmarine..lets not forget the cruel practice of cockfighting….guess ill never understand how “civilized” people can find pleasure and sport in torturing animals…i have no problem with ethical/responsible hunting for food or population control for those who are into it..
