The Hunt

On Saturday past I went to see the hounds before they set off for their annual fox hunt that has been tradition in England since I can remember. It has been changed a bit in recent years, thanks to such lovelies as Sir Linda McCartney and Rickey Lake. The animal rights types have gotten some bills passed so the hunt has been modified to keep within legal bounds. Now they go out and follow a sent trail, rather than take a jont across the country side to mangle foxi as they go; but if they happen upon a fox, there's not much you can do. It sounds bad, but so does the seal hunt to some people. I'm okay with the hunt, as long as it is used to control fox populations. They are bad news for the farmers who herd on the lands, and they eat eggs. But even this reasoning is not good enough anymore. I get it, they were here first, and "Animals are people too!" sure, whatever you're into. So here are some snaps from the event. that's all I got to say
