Bad Blood-Protesters V Huntsmen

Flix wrote:I've had a bit to do with the hunt, first watching them meet at the local pub in our village, serving them at the local pub when I was old enough to have a weekend job and doing my best to make life difficult after that. I've always disliked them, I knew a few from houses and farms around the village and for me at least it's not a class thing although there were a few toffs riding with the two hunts that met at the pub. It was their attitude in general some had it all the time, the blood lust and the arrogance, some were ordinary nice people until they got dressed for hunting then they became the same as the former. Getting dressed up and riding out is great, chasing after a small mammal is ridiculous at best and downright cruel at worst, I have manyhappy memories of spooking terrier men, laying false trails and ven driving a fox around in a horse box until the hunt had given up and taking back to where we found it and I've had many a discussion with hunt pros, I'd love to ride after them with hounds..

Shooting small birds out of the sky, and all the rest of the countryside sports no thanks. I'm not a townie by the way which is the stock answer to any people against such things born and bred country girl. The things that go on with horses and dogs let alone the fox, are very disturbing when you know about them.

Hi Flix.
Would you eat pheasant, rabbit, venison or fish?????

No I wouldn't - I don't eat meat of any kind.  I cooked a turkey for Christmas for the extended family, much against the grain, I had all the veg and a vegetable stock gravy, very nice and satisfying. Never could stand fish.
