This is some properly multi-layered irony.

If hunters want to become an ethnic group then I guess I’m becoming a racist.

For those reading, this is The Telegraph

Their whole fan base, as it were, is old Tories (conservatives) and angry old racists

Just fucking ignore it and don’t give them clicks

So, they were born fox hunters and came out of the womb with those ugly ass dated outfits, harnesses, saddles, horses, feed, etc etc…?

I mean, the look is actually good. Like the Nazis with their Hugo Boss uniforms. Criticize them for their actual problem: elitist animal cruelty. Boots and a little hat aren’t really a problem. Let them show off the outfit and parade around.

…Roma

And i don’t understand why they need protection in the first place.

They want protection from criticism. British hunting practices are… Horrific. Other countries have eliminated killing the fox as part of the event. Most of the world has shifted to you just ride around a field with some dogs and maybe you see the same fox you see every Thursday at 4pm and you go on the exact same chase with it you always do. In the UK? They murder that fox, and not humanely. By marking their “traditions” as ethnically derived, they become able to say criticizing them is a hate crime. Its… Really fucking stupid

killing the fox with your hounds is illegal in the UK from around 2005, as well it should be. I expect this law is broken as much as any other. I also assume that getting protected status is their starting point in attempting to get that law removed from the books.

Not that whatever the British hunters do isn’t worse. But putting the same animal through that tremendous stress just for the fun of it isn’t exactly what I’d describe as humane either.

It’s the Telegraph, this naming isn’t unexpected.
