are foxes victims<br \/>\nA wild soul of the field<br \/>\nA vixen and three little cubs<br \/>\nA family he must build<br \/>\nAll the pressure on him<br \/>\nTo hunt and find the food<br \/>\nAnd with hunters out there<br \/>\nChasing<br \/>\nHis fate seems surely slewed<\/p>\n<p>Its all about tradition<br \/>\nIts what country people do<br \/>\nIts all about society<br \/>\nAnd its not just for a few<br \/>\nHaving a horse and joining a hunt<br \/>\nAnd having dogs in tow<br \/>\nAnd going after vermin<br \/>\nThe practice it does grow<\/p>\n<p>The countryside alliance<br \/>\nSays its whats its members do<br \/>\nTo ban it is ridiculous<br \/>\nBecause we are clueless to<br \/>\nThe need to rid the countryside<br \/>\nOf the fox and of his kin<br \/>\nOf hares or rabbits or even Deers<br \/>\nHow dare we call it sin<\/p>\n<p>Its their ancestry and lineage<br \/>\nIts what the  family does<br \/>\nIts creativeness and inventiveness<br \/>\nYou really get that buzz<br \/>\nRiding freely through the grasses<br \/>\nOver hills and dales<br \/>\nIts synonymous with living<br \/>\nFollowing those trails<\/p>\n<p>It restores your equilibrium<br \/>\nIts prodigious and its good<br \/>\nIts where you are superior<br \/>\nCollectively understood<br \/>\nNot playing second fiddle<br \/>\nTo the grey suits anymore<br \/>\nThe freedom out on horseback<br \/>\nNobody can ignore<\/p>\n<p>There is unity and oneness<br \/>\nEntrenched in history<br \/>\nOfcourse its an adventure<br \/>\nThat happens regularly<br \/>\nPosterity is  on our side<br \/>\nIts a red blooded pursuit<br \/>\nAnd when the hounds catch up with it<br \/>\nWe kill the little brute<\/p>\n<p>Its always energetic its forceful<br \/>\nAnd robust<br \/>\nThe excitement of the chase is there<br \/>\nHow some talk of  disgust<br \/>\nThe saboteurs and their hangers on<br \/>\nDistrupting where they can<br \/>\nUnenlightened moonless dimwits<br \/>\nPolicing the ban<\/p>\n<p>Mrs May loves hunting<br \/>\nAs do the tory clan<br \/>\nMost live in the countryside<br \/>\nAnd realise the ban<br \/>\nWas never universal<br \/>\nThe fox the hare the deer<br \/>\nIts plausible to realize<br \/>\nWhy it is they are here<\/p>\n<p>As regards the hunters<br \/>\nTheir pageantry and pomp<br \/>\nTheir flagrancy and blatancy<br \/>\nOn every single romp<br \/>\nTheir swagger and their showing off<br \/>\nThe heroics all can see<br \/>\nCut a dash and make a splash<br \/>\nIts just pure history<\/p>\n<p>For me its impoliteness<br \/>\nBoorishness they be<br \/>\nSo called grown ups<br \/>\nChasing one small victim<br \/>\nConstantly<br \/>\nRiding roughshod over land<br \/>\nTempers always high<br \/>\nThey are the anathema<br \/>\nAnd really that is why<\/p>\n<p>Hunting is so odious<br \/>\nAnd offensive for today<br \/>\nIts all about their dander<br \/>\nHow we are in their way<br \/>\nThey are sullen and forbidding<br \/>\nAnd belly aching bunch<br \/>\nJaundiced and dyspeptic<br \/>\nReady to  throw a punch<\/p>\n<p>Always they are cursing<br \/>\nThunder from their breast<br \/>\nProfanities<br \/>\nThey have them all<br \/>\nThey always try to test<br \/>\nThe patience of the angels<br \/>\nWho suffer constantly<br \/>\nThe menace and collective threats<br \/>\nAnd the misogyny<\/p>\n<p>The sniffiness the snootiness<br \/>\nUp there on their horse<br \/>\nThey whip they ride into us<br \/>\nAs a matter of course<br \/>\nAnd ofcourse there are always<br \/>\nBovver boys around to give us grief<br \/>\nNormally carrying a stick or two<br \/>\nIt beggars belief<\/p>\n<p>They have no care of wild folk<br \/>\nOr of the countryside<br \/>\nUnvirtuous and immoral<br \/>\nUnfortunately the tide<br \/>\nHas turned and more and more of us<br \/>\nAre against the shit they do<br \/>\nAnd that they are allowed to get away<br \/>\nWith so much which is true<\/p>\n<p>Trespass and transgression<br \/>\nThey are born without remorse<br \/>\nThey ride down roads and frighten<br \/>\nAnd ofcourse they use their force<br \/>\nThey are unashamed and heartless<br \/>\nWithout compunction they<br \/>\nGiven half the chance<br \/>\nWould kill a fox yes right away<\/p>\n<p>Watch the hounds tear it apart<br \/>\nThe lowest of the low<br \/>\nDressed up in their hunting gear<br \/>\nTosspots as we know<br \/>\nHunting with their packs of hounds<br \/>\nIs illegal through and through<br \/>\nActually they are  criminals<br \/>\nDoing what they do<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>why are foxes victims A wild soul of
