fox hunting update

Um , now that the debate and law about fox hunting with dogs has been laid to rest , an update .
Firstly , we were inundated with the fact that foxes were vermin and as such should be killed , so why not with a Hunt ?
If you think about it , foxes tend to eat already deceased wild animals , rabbits and the odd pheasant/grouse .
Game birds tend not to be hugely prevalent in the countryside , apart from areas where they are gonna be shot in season - so its not just that .
So foxes eat vermin such as rabbits , and as such are vermin and as such should be hunted ................. ?
Its about the correct argument . Not so fifty years ago , though maybe when chickens were part of their diet . Unfortunately chicken farms are very unlikely to be infiltrated by foxes .
So the arguments about whether hunting with dogs should be allowed because foxes are vermin is fatuous in the extreme IMO anyway .
Secondly ; Hunts seem to be very good at losing the scent already laid , and instead seem to be excellent at finding live foxes. It's another silly law - it didnt have enough ground support so was always unlikely to be enforced
