By Mark – The hunting down and killing of British wildlife in the name of ‘sport’ has led to a huge conflict killing of between us, the ‘Antis’, such as sabs; and ‘Pro Kill’ hunt campaigners on the other side of the fence, for decades.
But for our WAV visitor friends from overseas who may be shouting here re the resultant killing of dogs in the following article, I need to say that there is a deeper side on dog killing by hunts than what even the average Brit knows.
By using reliable information data supported by the links provided here, I also hope to provide you with further insight that ‘lifts the lid’ on the issue. To some, the Boxing Day showcase all looks very ‘happy England’ does it not. Boxing Day, 26/12, sees the local hunt parade through local villages with their animals.
Hunting dogs, by their very nature, are dogs bred to chase, catch, and rip to shreds British wildlife. It is not the hunting dogs fault; it is the way they are raised which makes them mature hunter / killers. Hence most normal pet owners would not ever consider adopting an ex hunting dog. Not if you want more placid animals that you own, including cats, placid dogs and rabbits to carry on surviving.

So, lets lift the lid a little to the reality:
According to us, It is estimated that at least somewhere around 6,000 yo 8,000 hunting doge are slaughtered every year because they do not show enough blood lust, the basic want to kill, or they other problems such as being deaf. Nationally the numbers could be greater, another area of conflict between antis and prohunt supporters.
I was going to deal here also with a section on the Galgos, or Spanish hunting dogs, as they suffer immensely. I will now cover this in a new, separate post.
