more animal cuteness!

since horsemanship is an integral part of British culture... Ascot, the Derby, Cheltenham, i am interested in your opinion of the Hunt OP. (is it still illegal?) i DO feel for the fox ripped to pieces, but my question is do you feel the inborn British admiration for fine horses? or is itstrictly a function of the aristocracy?

Fox hunting in Britain is still illegal or they are trying to make it so. I don't know the law there.

They could have kept it legal and simply banned the use of live game hunting and made it like us civilized people in America do, drag hunt.

Drag hunting is when someone goes out with a heavily scented rag and drags along the course the hunt is going to take place. The rag is left at the end of the course.

Dogs are trained to hunt whateve scent is used on the rag. They hunt the rag instead of live game now.

I'm sure there are still live hunts that happen here but more and more drag hunting is used.

I also don't think the dogs are supposed to shred the fox when they get it, I always thought that was for the huntmaster to do. Dogs were simply supposed to corner it until the master arrives.

I never fox hunted, never got into learning all the details of it so I can only comment on what I do know, or think I know.

Fox huntinghas been illegal for two years, the police have made it clearthey will enforce this law and there are no illegal foxhunts taking place in the UK as a result.

As for you being "civilised" in the UK we don't have a national culture of shooting anything that fucking walks or crawls like you yanks do so shut the fuck up about being "civilised" okay?

Thehounds in foxhunting have 2 functions tracking the fox then ripping it limb from limb.

When the fox is cornered the lead huntsman throws the still alive often wounded fox to the dogs where it is ripped to shreds, this happened in every single fox hunt in history when a fox was caught.

The violent death of the fox is the focal point of thehunt just goes to show what a bloodthirsty set of cunts the toffs are, and why the fox hunting industry has died on its arse without the blood.
