Katie Hopkins causes outrage after controversial fox hunting claims

Exeter motor-mouth Katie Hopkins has sparked outrage yet again after airing her controversial views on fox hunting. The former apprentice star said fox hunting will become legalised and hit out at those who oppose it by saying they are jealous of "toffs". The former Echo columnist tweeted her views on Boxing Day.

The main reason you dislike fox hunting is you believe it is the sport of toffs. This is just jealousy disguised as animal rights.

In the past Hopkins has said of her upbringing in Devon: "I come from the quintessential Tory countryside milieu of hunting, shooting and fishing," and now has taken aim at those who are vocal about their dislike for the sport. She tweeted: "The main reason you dislike fox hunting is you believe it is the sport of toffs. This is just jealousy disguised as animal rights."

Fox hunting will be legalised. And everyone can go on as normal. Tally Ho! RSPCA will save themselves a fortune in vanity court cases

"Fox hunting will be legalised. And everyone can go on as normal. Tally Ho! RSPCA will save themselves a fortune in vanity court cases," she tweeted. She added: "Hunters are a part of the country side - like trees or fields. Terrorism is the act of a coward. Hunting is a skill."
