FOXHUNTING FACTS
Snt,—Would it not be more just to all concerned if Mr. Greenwood was to ascertain the facts with regard to the conduct of foxhunting before he presumes to make categorical statements designed to injure that sport ? He says that the practice of moving cubs from one part of the country to another is not forbidden by the Masters of Foxhounds Association. On the contrary, masted have been frequently warned that should any instances be brought to the notice of the committee the strongest possible action will be taken against offenders.
He also speaks of an incident in Cheshire "when the hunt tried to whip a fox off the top of an outhouse . . . so that it could be killed by hounds." In fact the hunt did nothing of the sort. One of the followers succeeded in " shooing " the fox into an outhouse in order that it might be rounded up and subsequently released, so that—as laid down in the rules of the M.F.H. Association—it should " not be hunted again,"
much less killed.—I am, yours faithfully, J. W. Frrzwamass, M.P.H. Association, sr Victoria Street, S.W..t. Honorary Secretary.
