The unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable, false media representation

Here in dear old blighty the media, like to portray the fox hunting issue as country vs town; as those in favour of the ban as townies ignorant of country ways and necessities. But this is far from the case, many real country people (Not the novo-rural set; in their discos that never get muddy, green wellies and tweed hacking jackets) who despise that spectacle of this cruel abomination that is fox hunting. I am also reminded of that old country saying, "Doer praper jab n fox'll b werkin foree" If you do your job right, the fox will be doing it too" Foxes reduce the prevalence of other animals considered vermin Foxes are naturally shy and timid, they are however, extremely clever, known to play dead in order to catch crows that come down to feed on their carcass. Cats will climb a fence, dogs dig under but a fox will both climb and dig. Though small they are able to defend themselves, an old dog of ours, a shepherd cross, got into a fight with a fox and came out worse Twice I have come into close contact with one of these creatures, once when one ran into our kitchen to escape a hunt, the hunter was somewhat surprised to be told to clear off, when he approached us and after the hunt had retreated the fox, which had cowered under a table, quickly left. Again, I came face to face on opening my back door late at night, the fox atypically did not run but stood looking at me, I slowly proffered it some dog food, which it ate warily, I never saw it again, though it did eat once more from dog food left out. It is not foxes that are rabid but the wawas in red jackets (Wawas comes from the peculiar noise these people make when laughing) all the best, urban
