No more than the rats in a rat trap are normally eaten! Fox-hunting is considered by some (mainly the english rural gentry) to be a method of exterminating vermin. This is, however, several stages past ridiculous - ever seen a pest-control man dress up in fluorescent red, and take several dogs, a horse and a shotgun with him when he removes a wasp's nest? Wasps are a pest, wheras foxes aren't. It is true, however that they can carry germs, though this poind is moot as nobody eats them, except perhaps the dogs who fing them. Anyhow, fox-hunting has been outlawed in Britain, rendering the point moot!

Wasps may be an annoyance, but practically every species eats or parasitizes a pest insect. Some unfortunately kill spiders too. (Don't kill spiders! Escort them outdoors!) And speaking of spiders, I used to have a basement with spiders and centipedes. I went down every day and killed several centipedes. Then I read a handy-dandy household hint to get rid of spiderwebs easily: Roll up a sheet of paper or newspaper, make some cuts in the end to form a brush, and sweep up your spiderwebs with that. It's a disposable broom. I did that, and thereafter there were no centipedes.

Fox is to fox hunting as raccoon is to 'coon huntin' Only, 'coon huntin' is generally looked upon as a redneck sport, and fox hunting as the Gentleman's Sport. They both have the same outcome: a small furry animal gets torn to shreds by a bigger furry animal that doesn't get fed unless it does so.

No, it's simply varmint control. Though most fox hunts in the USA are now drags and not real foxes are used.

Fortunatly the barbaric fox hunting here in the UK has been banned.

In reality, the so called 'hunting' of Foxes with *dogs* has been banned in law, however Fox 'hunting' still continues, and the hunts often use dogs when they think they can get away with it. It is still legal to use dogs to track a Fox, but not to kill it, which in practice, is not always possible when the hounds are excited. Real hunting provides food and/or clothing, alleged Fox 'hunting' doesn't even achieve it's stated aim, namely pest control, even if every hunt in the UK caught a hundred Foxes a year, it would scarcely make a dent in the Fox population. To answer the original question, no, Fox meat tastes disgusting (so I'm told), also the Fox pelt is useless once the dogs have been at it.
