Herefordshire hunt

The fact that they had cubs at the kennels confuses me too. Why do you say it was 'stupid' to have these cubs at the kennels Janet?

I said it was "worse than stupid" (I don't want to be banned for using naughty words!) It was initially claimed they were there for 'relocation' (total nonsense, I suspect) - and no information of how they were caught in the first place. Hopefully it will all come out in due course and the moron will be jailed.
 
With such moronic conduct, these people, assuming the report to be correct, do nothing but support the argument by the lacs and others, that this is 'cubbing'. It isn't, cubbing is about educating both cubs and the young entry.

Should any of those involved in this shameful episode be known to be guilty, then I'd hope that they face instant dismissal. They don't represent Hunting, at least not from here.

Alec.
 
Cheers for the clarification, Janet. It's a very sad situation which will, hopefully, be addressed by the law.

Alec, you say that these people don't represent hunting, I agree, although I do think that the once strict ethics of hunting is being eroded.
 
I haven't watched the video, but agree that if the incident happened as portrayed then it is unforgivable cruelty and the people resonsible should be prosecuted, it is nothing to do with hunting.

Regarding foxes at kennels though, how about Lady Wachter at the North Ledbury? There were foxes all over the place including a couple in the house. She is supposed to have tripped over one and broken her ankle once. Many years ago though, now the North Ledbury is well run!
