ALL my class in Year 6 have been having a debate about fox hunting and most of them agreed it should be banned.

Fox hunting is cruel and nasty and is made more so because it is just done for sport. I know farmers get angry because foxes steal and eat their chickens and lambs, but they need to eat and live ... just like we do! Eighty per cent of people in Britain are against fox-hunting. There are 200 fox hunting groups in Britain today which means not only 12,500 foxes are being killed because of it, but it also spoils other animals' habitats. And I think very much that Members of Parliament should aim to put a stop to it!
