The despicable in pursuit of the defenceless <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />They claim it as a right to maim and kill <br />Resplendent in red riding coats <br />Galloping over fields through woods <br />Horn blaring ridding after baying hounds. <br /> <br />They say fox, hare and deer enjoy the chase <br />And the kill is swift and clean <br />But how can death by dogs ripping living flesh <br />Be anything but a sport for the insane?<br /><br />Colin Ian Jeffery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blood-sports/
