The Four Shires Bloodhounds Boxing Day Meet 2007. Market Square, Ashbourne, Derbyshire, UK.
The sport of hunting with Bloodhounds is known as hunting the clean boot. Unlike a draghunt which uses an artificial pre-laid scent, Bloodhounds have to work the scent (which is affected by the weather) of a human quarry -- a fell runner or a marathon runner. These hounds are very affectionate and on finding their quarry at the end of the meet, they often lick the runner.
@digbycurrents I assume you thing they are hunting foxes.. they are a bloodhound pack, they hunt a human runner.. nothing gets hurt by these guys.

Isn't it cruel to hunt humans with hounds for sport? This loophole in the Hunting Act 2004 must be plugged as soon as possible. Where are unwashed protestors when they are needed?
