Erm. That event is held every year, and there were 33 fatalities in the last 11 years. An average of three per year. As much as I like to watch the Grand National, I'd say that's quite a problem.

Sorry but this thread is about hunting and purposely killing an animal and I don't see the relevance in participating in a sport where although deaths may happen it's not the end goal of the event.

[danielf]

Yeah. Fair enough. I suppose we got sidetracked by the argument for banning horse racing.

Again both sides have strong views and the thread meanders on..

When you're right, you're right.....

Except of course, when you're wrong...

Banwen Miners Hunt

Working Class Fox Hunt

Like a good number of the 313 packs in Britain, the Eryri is run by working men, struggling farmers, sometimes former miners and often Labour voters, rather than by the old rich, and the new money, in their red jackets, cream breeches, fresh from Range Rovers and country piles, who have come to symbolise hunting

I wonder what the hunting lobby would say about having to make sure a vet is in attendance.
