After skinning and cleaning the fox, you should marinate it for a day in brine, so as to remove the pungent aroma; then wash it in running water for five minutes, joint it as you would a hare, marinate again for six hours in red wine, with onion, garlic and herbs, etc., and proceed as you would for jugged hare. Capers, green peppercorns, diced bacon, mushrooms and juniper berries are all welcome additions. (from Prologue)
Young people need nothing so much as wit, allusion and style. They should be studying advocacy and argument; they should be reading poetry, criticism and the authors who have said things clearly and well.
Animals are not moral beings: they have neither rights nor duties, they are not sovereign over their lives, and they can commit no crimes. If they were moral beings, then Kant's categorical imperative would apply to them: it would be wrong to kill them, capture them, confine them, harm them, or curtail their freedom. But it would also be wrong for them to do these things. Lions would be murderers, cuckoos usurpers, mice burglars, and magpies thieves. The fox would be the worst of living criminals, fully deserving the death penalty which we from time to time administer. For foxes kill not only for food, but with a wanton appetite for death and destruction.

If it is true, as I and many others believe, that the fox is better served by hunting than by any other form of cull, and that all rival practices expose him to far more suffering, then it is not just permissible to hunt, but morally right.
