Ok, horses are just used for hunting, so these lovely hunters can't be bothered to look after them if they can't use them for hunting so they "have" to kill them.

I do not think any form of hunting is acceptable unless you eat it, and, let's face it, what's the point, when anything worth eating can be bought if you look hard enough anyway. Fox hunting is just pointless, just an excuse to kill something.

All hunting with hounds in now banned in England and Wales. I assume that means hunting where the dogs do the killing, not retrieving. Deer and foxes are the only animals really hunted with hounds here, otters used to be until they nearly became extinct through people's stupidity.
