As for the implications of people who enjoy torturing and supporting torturing animals, well they can find other jobs and activities to occupy their time, it justs takes a bit of work. If the dogs have to be put down then it's a shame but that's not enjoyment of torture. Hundreds of animals are killed each day for food I have no problem with that or putting animals to death which spread diseases. What I do have trouble with is people who take delight in torturing animals, and am glad there are at least some laws to stop it.
If you found out about someone abusing someones pet dog you would probably be upset, this is no different.

ok, thats an interesting point. I do agree that laws protecting animals from systematic and cruel torture are fair. But is fox hunting really torture, if you read above you will see that hunts rarley catch or find foxes, when they do catch a fox it is killed quickly by the dogs, there is no way it can live for long being attacked by a dog, as a rabbit does not when attacked by a fox. Also would it not have been better to ban snaring? or poisoning? or shooting?
What are your reasons for calling fox hunting torture?
