Too true, Guest of 06:14 - Exactly the point I was making but made better! Any idea how many horses die in hunts btw? I don't but seeing as a number die every year in the 'hunt' races I guess there must be some in the field as well?

Another point I had forgotten - How can these people say it is natural when they often both block up all the natural sanctuaries the fox may have and keep captured foxes in a sack to release just before the hounds? And how natural is it for horses to hunt foxes anyway? If the hunters were to use their own feet to run 20+ miles and then give the fox a fair chance of escaping I think they might carry more credence. As it is I have heard nothing but utter nonsense from the pro-hunt lobby.
