    Just a suggestion: Can we not replace the so-called "sport" of hunting wild animals with vicious hounds...with the perfectly humane and equally enjoyable sport of DRAG HUNTING?

    Just as many real sportsmen prefer to shoot clay pigeons instead of maiming and destroying real live birds and animals, hunters can have all the fun and fresh air they want without hounding a poor animal to death or injury.

    In drag hunting, an artificial trail is laid for the hounds to follow...apart from avoiding the disgusting scenes of cruely associated with stag and fox hunting, this practise is also farmer-friendly...the trail can be laid so as to avoid the lands of farmers who have banned hunts.

    Drag Hunting avoid the senseless destruction of crops and damage to farm property that almost always results from fox and stag hunting.

    And with coursing also...drag coursing employs a mechanical lure instead of forcing a terrified captive hare is serve as live bait. You have all the fun and all the excitement but none of the sadistic cruelty that the hare-baiting crowd get their jollies from.

    So how about it?

    Why not taking the innocent, long-suffering wildlife out of the baiting game...and turn it into REAL SPORT!!!
