If the earth does grow inhospitable toward human presence, it is primarily because we have lost our sense of courtesy toward the earth and its inhabitants.

Boxing Day Meet

The traditional Boxing Day meet of the High Peak Hunt was well supported in Bakewell this morning. Joint Master Ms J. H. Carr welcomed the members and supporters and reinforced the point that the HPH were hunting legally. She also urged all supporters to join the Countryside Alliance and support their campaign to repeal the hunting ban.

Irrespective of your views on hunting the spectacle and tradition of the meet is a great opportunity to view this long standing countryside activity and blow away a few of those Christmas cobwebs.

Yeah but they don't actually hunt foxes anymore do they? I mean that would be illegal. I expect they chased after some pre laid scent - a drag hunt?
