Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation between hunters and hunt saboteurs. Sometimes these incidents lead to violence , but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.
Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Poster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.
It can be inferred from the passage that______.
选项
A、killing foxes with poison is illegal
B、limiting the fox population is unnecessary
C、hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent
D、fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich
答案
C
解析
根据文章第四段的“But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting,because they think it is brutal,has risen sharply。”可以看出猎狐在许多人看来是非常残忍的,所以[C]最符合题意。因为英国还没有法律明文规定捕杀猎物是违法的,所以认为“killing foxes with poison it illegal”是无法可依的,故,[A]不正确。作者没有就限制狐狸数量发表看法,因此,无法断定[B]是正确答案。文章第四段说“…it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation between hunters and hunt saboteurs”,而不是“between the poor and the rich”,因此,[D]不是正确答案。
