- Helping to maintain a healthy, genetically sound fox population by culling the genetically unsound, weak, old and wounded. Any ban would harm the UK fox population as a whole.
- Dispersing the fox population leading to the many advantages of reducing areas of over concentration. Most other methods of control are not effective in dispersing.
- Helping to maintain much of the traditional appearance and bio-diversity of the UK Countryside.
- Benefitting many UK farmers who earn money by assisting in the maintenance of the infrastructure of Foxhunting (e.g. by maintaining hunting horses for customers).
- Sustaining the livelihood of many people in the countryside and in the towns who derive a significant proportion of their income because of Foxhunting.
- Maintaining the social and cultural cohesion of many country communities where Foxhunting is pivotal to the social and other aspects of the "Country Way of Life".
