Animal protection institutions reacted angrily on dead fox photography
Vinnie Jones faced an avalanche of pet-animal criticism after a photograph of more than 100 dead foxes was posted to his Twitter account. Apparently, the image appeared in the social network account of the former footballer with the caption: "A real lamp. Does anyone win this?
The post was deleted from the Jones Jones account shortly after it appeared on Sunday night, but it was heavily criticized.
Animal protection institutions reacted with horror to the "massacre" and told him to "stop practicing such a stupid act". Jones denied that he was responsible, claimed that his account had been hacked and said he had not even seen the photograph.
Jones, 52, denied the photo's publication and insisted he had been hacked after publicly speaking of his love of the country's hunting. Speaking at his home in California, he said, "It has nothing to do with me." I had never seen the picture until this morning when crazy people entered my Twitter saying that I had done this and that. I've seen the picture and I've never seen that many foxes.This is an attack on me.I do not know how it got there. "
Foxes are not a protected species, so it's legal to shoot them with a rifle or shotgun on private lands in England. Shooters usually shoot at night, using high-powered lights on rescue trucks.
The post came after Jones, who lived in Los Angeles with his wife Tanya but also has a cottage in Sussex, told the Shooting Times this month: "If the farmer has a fox problem, I love hanging out and resolving that".
Jones's father was a gamekeeper and says he was five when he first shot a pigeon. After a 15-year career as a footballer, Jones was successful as an actor after his role in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Friend Dave Whitby, owner of a property that releases fox hunting in West Sussex, said photography was shared among gun enthusiasts. "No one knows where the picture came from," he said. "It was posted to me and I sent it to Vinnie saying," Where the hell did this picture come from? We think it's abroad somewhere, in Spain or Germany. I do not know the story, but I would think it would be impossible to shoot so many foxes in a month, let alone a day.
Mr. Jones put down 18 dead rabbits while on a hunt with friends in January and spat: "Look how the hunt went for two hours, my friend"
Mr. Jones confessed during this same hunt in January to be a hunter in love with foxes, birds and fishing. In the photo below, he places himself on a dead badger during a hunt in 2012 although there is no evidence to suggest that he killed the animal.

Philippa King, of League Against Cruel Sports, said: "This is nothing less than a massacre. The extermination of such a large number of foxes can not be interpreted as simply dealing with a problem of fox surplus or wildlife management. Joy expressed here highlights the true nature of this activity, which is killing wildlife for fun and has nothing to do with fox control. "
Elisa Allen, director of Peta UK, said, "If people would hunt dogs in panic for fun, we would call it cruelty to animals. Vinnie needs to publish about an idiotic act and challenge his strength in the face of protection by killing those who can not Protect from bullies? "
Animal Aid activist Tod Bradbury added, "Treating animals as if they were nothing more than live targets is insensitive. Each of these foxes may have left offspring who will not be able to defend themselves."
An RSPCA spokesman said: "Depending on the circumstances, unfortunately, such actions are legal, but we always recommend alternative measures - such as deterrents - to be used to prevent this type of wildlife death."
The British Association for Shooting and Conservation, the UK's largest shooting organization, said the fox's photo was unlikely to be taken in Britain. A spokesman said: "It would take a lot of land to support such a large population of foxes."
In 2003, it was reported that Mr. Jones had his shotgun license revoked by the police after he was convicted of threatening passengers on an airplane. He would have threatened to "eat the face" of a passenger and shouted, "I can kill you, I can kill the whole crew for £ 3,000."
