Hunting on National Trust Land

[Bazile]

Did I hear correctly on the news last night ,that hunting with hounds , of sick or wounded animals , is to be allowed on National Trust Land ?

If this is correct , what justification can there be for this?

[vehelpfulguy]

This has caused much debate in the NT and it is mainly to do with deer management on some estates.

Ward-Minter...I agree completely with you. We might have our political and moral differences in the past, but this night for once we stand united!

Fox hunting has always been about blood lust...and in the case of the old ladies..probably the cl1toral stimulation of the horse bumping up and down!

No justification ever !!..If they are talking about managment i.e.cull..that would have to be done in an organised manner.A hunt is not organised!!..It is a random act,purely for the enjoyment of those on horseback!
