The point is that it's just an excuse for the aristocracy and those who hang on to them to hunt animals for sport. There's nothing humane about it (the dogs are allowed - encouraged even - to tear the fox to shreds) and there's no sense of "oh this is a cull" or anything; it's purely barbaric blood sport and the English seem to think (some of them anyway) that it's an acceptable way to behave, and that, more, it's their god-given right. So yeah, among those who a) hate the upper classes b) love animals or c) have any sense of right and wrong, it is a big issue. You ever see the protests against these things?
