Hi, I know this may cause a bit of consternation amongst us animal lovers, but I am a traditionalist, and hunting is a tradition of the countryside, thoughnot I admit a terrible great one! I am not going to come down on one side or another, but I was litening to a song today called the St Gennys Hunt - and I thought Oh, this has good place names references for a project I am working on, so I listened a little closer to the words!!!!

One part says.... 'His amunition was so good ands piece it was so sound There was many in St Gennys saw his brains lie on the ground'

his referring to the foxes brains....

There are loads of hunting songs, I sing them and love them because they are a part of folk music, being of peoples passtimes, but what do you think?

Have I opened a can of worms? I do not wish to offend - Honest!
