Is there any evidence of his fox or it's death?

I'm wondering if he's just successfully generated a lot of publicity and outrage which he'll now use to focus on the current law on fox hunting being bad law.

Remember, he is a director of The Good Law Project.

You'd have imagined it would be very unusual for a QC not to realise that the law generally frowns upon battering things to death, no matter what the thing might be.

The other thing that you might expect a QC to understand would be that there might be a defence if you were protecting life or preventing cruelty - you see people who do humane dispatch say that something heavy to the back of the head is often the safest and most humane way to kill an injured animal and these people are stating the truth, acting within the law, and doing their best for the injured animal. You might have imagined that a QC would be aware of a form of words which made his actions a humane act on the basis of preventing suffering or similar. I see no indication of that in any of the reporting.

So, a lot of stuff in the reporting doesn't add up. Could just be badly reported, could be an agenda at work, but it seems unlikely that he is genuinely stupid.
 
That's my thinking too, a person of his mental acuity seems unlikely to have done what he infers and then publicised it, especially on the day most anti-hunt sentiment is being expressed on social media.
 
He's either very stupid ? Or very clever ? not sure which . whichever it is it will stir up the animal cruelty debate. (Misinformation & propaganda for an agender.?)
 
Lawyer? Sounds more like a **** who should be banned from using social media forever. Its clowns like these who makes life miserable for others. Couldn't idiots like this simply get drunk and stay in bed on Boxing day? At least it will be a day well spent.
 
Struggling to see what he did wrong.
Most people put their daily doings on social media, this guy just did what most other would have done. God knows I've killed a few foxes with a spade, and now i've said it on the internet, !! omg vilify me , hurry !!

It doesn't matter if he is a shooter or not, this type of publicity can and will be used as a tool against the shooting fraternity.

Some lawyer batting a fox to death? If he’s not connected to shooting it has as much to do with us as it does the football scene, if we make some sort of connection ourselves we make a rod for our own back, imho of course.

Or, put in a less-tabloid way, he humanely dispatched a trapped and distressed fox.

It is useful to have the insight to see ourselves as others might see us, particularly if it prevents inflammatory social-media posts - but the rest of us don't have to respond in the face of resultant public indignation as if that indignation were well-founded; not at any rate if it apparently, as in this case, isn't.
 
Whats next he ran down a pigeon in his beemer?

If we have enough outrages, people will get tired of outraging and start to internalize it.
