They still have the hunt meetings here on the 26th Dec. Alan, very colourful, all the men and women in the red gear, the dogs begin to bark and the hounds begin to howl, sorry starting to get carried away again, don't know a lot about it though, way out of my league.

Heard the toffs on the radio this morning - they want the ban reversed even tho' they are off on their hunts - wish they would 'Tally Ho' off !

This is just a throwback event and I wish it would stay in the past. There is something very disagreeable about enjoying the prospect of a pack of animals ripping apart another live animal. There are more humane ways to deal with problems (if there are any really that is).

Terrible thought that they still Hunt, poor little Foxes being ripped apart by dogs.

Happy Boxing Day all.

Couldn't agree more Patsy gal. These people don't give a damn about anyone else, they're like a bunch of savages. They openly put two fingers up to the law, totally disregarding it, and get away with it year after year. I know some of the local hunt round here don't even give a damn about their beautiful horses, they are merely a conveyance for the days killing spree. if something has to be killed for a specific reason, then so be it, but to make such a song and dance and celebration out of it is like a tribal pursuit. And why add to the shame of the animal's demise by cutting the tails off and smearing blood over people? What is the matter with these morons?
Very much a case of "One law for the toffs . . . . . ."
