Here the invasive coyote hybrids are eating the foxes, (along with pets and livestock) much more humane, and no jobs created by fox hunts or reason to keep horses around.
Sorry mate, but that's wrong. Fox hunting was banned in England in 2005 and it's precisely because Fox numbers have increased since then that they have started living in towns where food is more easily available.
Most people in the towns don't mind the foxes though as they're quite shy animals. Although their calls can be a bit creepy.
class tune.......

So I liked this group and their energy,,, went well,, with J Tull...
So thanks alto for answering a question I had on the shelf of my mind for almost 40 years,

Foxhunting . . . the unspeakable pursuing the inedible - Oscar Wilde
Foxes have taken to living in towns in England and the townsfolk have started taking a dim view of louts on horseback tearing up their flowerbeds.
They're passing city regulations to stop them.
Looks like the foxes have figured out a way to end foxhunting.

pangael,
nothing short of blowing them out of the mouth of a cannon in the town square would stop these upper class viles

Great song, fun to compare to American folksong 'The fox went out on a moonlit night...'
Thanks very much.

Have you heard Roger Waters' "Radio Waves"? The rhythm in that song is identical to this one.
NotOrdinaryInGames 3 years ago
Pretty much so, although Waters had to add the damned disco-synth background.
He also added many more chords - a much more complex (and less satisfying) song.
