Despite the law
\nDespite the will
\nThe red fox gets no break
\nTrained foxhounds
\nAnd the riders
\nTrack chase and partake
\nThe killing of the red fox
\nA controversial way
\nIts supposedly rural culture
\nThats what the toffs all say<\/p>\n
They talk up conservation
\nA misnomer if you ask me
\nPest control
\nAnother hole they dig themselves
\nFor free
\nThe cruelty the savagery
\nA medieval hunt
\n“Vulpes vulpes” are the victims
\nThey never are the runt<\/p>\n
Living in their earths
\nThe Tod who hear the hounds
\nIn flight
\nImagining a wild fox free
\nRunning through the night
\nBaying hounds their teeth on fire
\nSlobbering as they go
\nThey call themselves traditionalists
\nAnd they know what hunters know.<\/p>\n
Trail hunts through peoples gardens
\nThrough quarries we can see
\nThey talk up an old fashioned tale
\nBut a hunting yes they be
\nDeapite the law they flaunt it
\nAggression all the way
\nQuad bikes myriad range rovers
\nHot tempered you can say<\/p>\n
Hassle flurry whirl and fuss
\nVolatile they be
\nA madness and a frenzied rush
\nSeen as ecstasy
\nUnconscious to the plight of souls
\nUnresponsive to their needs
\nNo qualms about their murdering spree
\nAnd if a poor fox bleeds<\/p>\n
Its guts torn out its agony
\nThese fine toffs they rejoice
\nHoots of laughter
\nAnd revelling
\nIts what they do of choice
\nAs for the sabs they are out there
\nIn all weather ready for
\nThe cut and thrust
\nIts so unjust
\nIt really is a war<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
