KEEPING A COUNTY TRADITION ALIVE
These fine men
are British through and through,
they know when to doff their caps
and what is more ------ who to.
They're famous for their quad bikes,
their terriers, nets, and sacks,
with wooden crates both fore and aft
and bait bags on their backs.
As masters of their craft
they'll work both night and day,
enabling the 'Masters'
to indulge in make-believe play.
The 'Masters' dress as hunters
in tailored uniforms,
they ride out on their horses,
with hounds - and whips - and horns.
When a fox is clearly wanted,
to be chased - and caught - and killed,
it's the terrier men who bag them,
- - - - release - - - -
the need is then fulfilled.
It makes 'Masters' very happy
to see hot blood being spilled.
Having seen an ariel view of a group of terrier men and a child capturing a live fox in its earth, using nets and dogs - bundling it up tightly and pushing it into a big wooden box strapped to the back of a quad bike - I could not settle for the horror of it. Nothing - but nothing deserves to be killed in this way. It is heartbreaking. Unfortunately, faces were covered and registration plates could not be seen.

Stephen A - Stephen G and Aisha, many thanks for reading and liking - it is a disturbing subject but one where the truth should be right out in the open.
