[QUOTE="PSQ, post: 7785264, member: 11374"] I watched my lab pup play with the 5 year old lab this morning, properly roughing each other up but wagging like it was going out of fashion, and thought of the dogs at the local hunt kennels. They live as a 'pack', they hunt as a pack, they are allowed to express a dogs natural pack behaviour, and they wont linger at the end of their lives or live in pain for years. And while I don't necessarily agree with hunting, [B][I]I wonder if the BBC and media coverage isn't massively swayed by a perceived urban 'class-ism', [/I][/B][I]especially when [/I]my local hunt is predominantly a mix of working and middle class 'rural workers', every type of tradesmen and professionals, doctors and business people; with a minority 'upper' class.[B] The real story should be about the cruelty of keeping individual dogs in an urban environment, where they are kept far away from exhibiting natural canine behaviour, and kept alive in infirmity for the owners benefit, when they should be allowed a humane dispatch at the right time for the dog.
