[QUOTE="Pasty, post: 3495144, member: 1651"] Well my local hunt master admitted to me that they had lost control of the pack a couple years ago. 3 of us had to stand guard over my hens with sticks as the hounds rampaged through. Now I will admit that the hounds were not the slightest bit interested in my rare breed hens which had taken years to breed up. But that is not the point. They were out of control and rampaged through our woods with the usual brainless cretins on quads climbing our newly laid hedges to watch the trespass. I used the C word many times and even made up some worse ones. Utter cretins. Not country people. Utter cretins. I have since made peace with the local hunt and asked them to avoid my hens which they have. Had I had a gun on that day, they would be a few hounds short and I would have been perfectly justified in protecting my stock. Poor dogs being run by such fools. Now my hens are in Heras panel pens and part of that is to protect from wayward hounds. I cannot afford to lose a prize cockerel which has taken 4 years to breed. That's thousands to me. Not just a chicken. It's not worth anything to anyone but me. Each to their own but I don't understand these morons who follow the hunt on quads and climb hedges to watch. Get a life FFS. Or end it and do us all a favour. [/QUOTE]
