Riverford Organic Farms and fox hunting - a personal statement from Guy Watson I do not fox hunt, never have and find it regrettable that anyone enjoys a sport that causes suffering to animals. I try to balance this position with two principles that I hold very strongly; firstly that tolerance is a virtue without which the world would be in constant conflict, and secondly that people should be free to make their own moral decisions wherever reasonably possible. My family is made up of individuals who agree on most things and disagree on a few. My sister Louise, who I love dearly, rides and hunts. I don’t agree with her but I tolerate her position and, in a world where humans routinely impose suffering on animals, wild and farmed, on a scale which dwarfs fox hunting, I don’t feel inclined to impose my views on her even if I could. She allows fox hunting on her land; I don’t on mine.
