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
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Hunt supporters want to see the law repealed, but anti-hunting groups say public opinion is still strongly in support of the ban.
People who back the ban say the practice is cruel and outdated.
