7 1/2 foxes per season... on average... i know what ur saying, but they rarely do catch foxes... and i guess i will be the first to stand up and admit it isnt all about killing the foxes, and yes you could say why not drag hunt, and many do....
but when you wake up on a cold morning, get the horses ready and everyone is in their hunting kit and the horses are all jumping around and then when you get out there and you hear the horn and you jump all the fences with mud splattering you and its freezing...
its hard to understand.... and sympathise with i guess, but it means a lot to a hell of a lot of people.... englands become so americanised and culture and heritage is something thats so scarce nowadays....
to be quite honest and this sounds so so harsh, but in this world there are hell of a lot more importnant things than a few foxes being killed...
im sorry i know ive stuck my neck out here but i did want to show the other side of the argument...
