Yes it is however the hunters pretend they are trail hunting but buy fox urine from abroad and deliberately lay the scent in areas where they know there are foxes and then they say that they can't stop the dogs. They also have thugs who go and dig out a fox den so that any parents and cubs get killed by the dogs.
The police know it is going on but rarely prosecute and some police forces side with the hunters. There are lots of groups called saboteurs who try to disrupt the hunts in a peaceful way.
Ah, I understand. It is the same with Japan who is hunting wales only for scientific investigation. Only a big, big lie.

I thought that to hunt foxes with horses is forbidden in the UK ?

It is. The hunts are supposed only to do drag trail hunting. Occasionally the hounds “pick up the scent of a fox” and follow that instead with the inevitable result. It is debatable how accidental it is that the hounds know how to follow a real fox trail. The drag scent is aniseed...

Good mornooning everyone. Yesterday I went to buy a new phone which wasn’t as straightforward as it should have been. And then I had a governor meeting in the evening. I do finally have the phone set up and working, so hopefully there will be no further glitches in my attention to the CDR!

I know how that goes. I have been putting off getting a new phone and dragging my feet about upgrading my phone's operating system. I hate phone shopping even worse than I hate grocery shopping and clothes shopping.

Well I hope that they stay safe. Poor things.
Yes, foxes are poor creatures in Germany. They can be shot almost all time of the year. Only the time when female foxes have their pups the females are protected against shooting. But which huntsman knows if he shoots a female or a male from a distance of some 100 meters and at night ?

She is beautiful. What is her story?
The guy that had her, raised her from a hatchling. They were moving and could not take her and thought it better to give her up. That’s all I know. She has adjusted very well so far, only thing is I have not seen her bask yet. But that will come.

My old phone was 5 years old and randomly switched off as the battery got to around 10%. It did good service, and I got my money’s worth from it, but it was time to go.

The new one is so much faster and the battery lasts more than a few hours! It lasts more than a day actually as I haven’t charged it yet!!
