A perfect example of ethnocentricity. What my culture does is better than what your culture does, so there!

I am American, and I'm against ALL hunting. I think killing any animal is horrible!

1) Americans tend to raise larger livestock, and so wolves are a greater threat than foxes. But Chicken farmers in the midwest of the USA hate foxes and weasels. 2) I don't think the hunt ever became a royal outing here in the US. It's more like. "Jed! sumpin N the henhous" "Right mabel, I'll get mah shotgun". and there no time to put on pluffy britches and button down blazers. More than likely it's bare feet slopping through the mud with barely the time to stretch your suspenders over your head. Ole blue scramblin after the "critter" replaces a well trained pack of terriers. 3) Wolves are much rarer in the UK. So I don't think they were or are as great a threat. But they are considered endangered now aren't they? Neither country should have many wolf hunters nowdays.

Why do you say it doesn't go vice-versa? British Parliament passed laws designed to severely limit the number of foxhunts taking place because the British publicopinion was so against it (participants excepted of course). So to imply that the British public is against fox hunting is blatantly incorrect and ignores all the evidence to the contrary. As a result, your question becomes totally meaningless because it is based on a demonstrably false premise.

Your question shares with most other generalisations the fact that it's based on a misconception. I haven't the remotest idea about what most Americans think about fox or wolf hunting. I do know that the majority of British people are against fox hunting and have no view on wolf hunting because, except for a couple of very remote places where they have been re-introduced, there are no wolves in Britain.

It is human and animal way of learning which become traditions: Monkey see monkey do is how we all learn. This is the main reason why we should act morally and rationally ourselves so that our children learn the correct ways of living a life. To anger back with anger is learned from our parents, neighbors and the village in which we grow and live. The seven worst behaviors of a person as "Jealousy, greed, envy, lust” etc. are the learned and copied behaviors of the growing child. We do what our elders do: Source: Sounds of the heart Group: Ramesh

Im British and I've never spoken to anyone about wolf hunting because we don't hear much about it. More than half the UK are against fox hunting and its illegal except in Scotland. There is no black and white stance on this for a whole nation.

I can't say I'd ever heard of wolf-hunting until now.

I don't know much about the fox hunting situation, but it seems to be culturally significant. As for the wolves, they are pests (killing and eating livestock, also, they pose a threat to any small children once their presence has been confirmed on a farm). The reason people are against the custom of the others' is they don't fully understand the reasoning behind the practice.

Since I do not believe there are any wolves left in the wild in the UK it is not a subject that would appear on the national agenda. I believe that most people in the UK are also against fox hunting. I have never discussed , fox or wolf hunting in the US so it would be presumptious of me to state that the population were either for or against either.

Because in the UK fox hunting is a tradition the fox and hounds where someone would take many hounds and hunt down foxes then shoot it its a cultural thing. In America many legends were passed dow about wolves being evil and then more wolves ate off farmers live stock until some time in the 19 hundreds and the human race tried to make wolves extinct but failed but put wolves on the endangered list in michigan and wisconsin most wolves were killed made into trophies or eaten but they were mostly mad into apparel like jackets for winter.

I'm pretty much against most unnecessary hunting. Especially when it's done for sport.
