Watching the hunt helped me decide
Woodroyd Gardens, Luddenden Foot.
IN recent months we have seen in Your say correspondence which touches upon the controversial subject of fox hunting.
As we are all aware there are two distinct camps which this subject falls into, those for hunting and those against.
I count myself in the latter group, having been a horse rider for many years and residing within earshot of one the the country's most famous hunts (the hunt's description, not mine) and seeing at first hand the activities of the hunt which made up my mind.
It instantly brought to recollection the words of Oscar Wilde who referred to "the English country gentleman galloping after a fox" as "the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable".
A more fitting description I have yet to discover which befits that particular group of individuals.
