    So...who's off fox hunting today?

    Twas the sound of his horn brought me from my bed
    And the cry of his hounds has me oftimes led
    For Peel's view holloa would wake the dead
    Or a fox from his lair in the morning
    More than a quarter of a million people are to take part in Boxing Day hunts, according to the Countryside Alliance.

    More than 300 such events are planned on the busiest day of the hunting year.

    Hunting with dogs was banned in 2005. Under the ban, dogs can still be used to follow a scent - but cannot be used to kill the fox.

    Hunt supporters want to see the law repealed, but anti-hunting groups say public opinion is still strongly in support of the ban.

    People who back the ban say the practice is cruel and outdated.
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

          Then why hunt them? Why not have squirrel hunting instead?
