The despicable in pursuit of the defenceless



They claim it as a right to maim and kill
Resplendent in red riding coats
Galloping over fields through woods
Horn blaring ridding after baying hounds.

They say fox, hare and deer enjoy the chase
And the kill is swift and clean
But how can death by dogs ripping living flesh
Be anything but a sport for the insane?
