How can anyone enjoy it?

I can condone hunting to the extent of survival, ie hunt or be hunted, but fox hunting is completely insane. They starve the fox and the dogs for a couple of days prior to the "hunt", and then they release the fox and the dogs, and the stuck up, pompus, toffee nosed snobs chase them on horses, claiming that it is a "sport".

The fox, exhausted, is then caught by the dogs, which rip it to pieces why it is still alive. They then claim that they doing this to stop the foxes stealing chickens, etc, but they're not.

I can understand farmers being able to shoot foxes which are stealing their chickens, but no more than that.
