Re: Bring Back Fox Hunting

I once saw a dead bird laying at the back of my house with the pet dog sniffing it as I walked into the garden. At first, it would be very easy to assume that the dog had somehow managed to catch the bird and kill it. Until I went upstairs and into one of the back bedrooms. Upon looking out the window, I saw an unmistakable bird shape impression. turns out the bird had killed itself by flying into the window and fell to the ground, where I found the dog sniffing it.

jumping to a conclusion could have meant me scolding the dog for something she didn't do. Luckily, I learned many years ago not to take action or pass judgement on something if you don't know the full circumstances surrounding the event. It looked like the dog caught and killed the bird, but I didn't see her do it myself.

I believe others would to well to step back when such drastic 'solutions' are being thrown around. yes, what has happened is terrible. I wouldn't wish it on any family. but we still can;t go round advocating a culling.
