Chris Morris and Patrick Da Fronk in “Unfinished Business”

There are many legal sports that kill animals too.

[a fox hunter] I think the thing that people get fussed about is that a fox is a small brown furry animal, very much like a dog. Um, I don't think they'd be nearly so worried if it was a little four-legged car... full of chips.

The evil of our relationship remains a paradox. If you plot "Number of animals abused" against "What makes people cruel" versus "Intelligence of either party", the pattern is so unreadable that you might as well draw in a chain of fox heads on sticks. And if you do that, an interesting thing happens: the word "cruel" starts flashing. So, are we cruel to hunt foxes?

The fox feels nothing. It's made of... string.
