DEFENCE OF HUNTING
COMPABISON WITH PAST Speaking at the puppy show of the West Somerset Foxhounds and Quantock Staghounds at Bishop’s Lydeard, near Minehead, lately, Sir Denis Boles, master of both packs, defended hunting against its critics. Some people, Sir Denig stated, might say there was too much hunting, but conditions were very different from what they were twenty to thirty years ago. Formerly shooting men were content to shoot twenty or thirty pheasants a day; but now they desired to kill three or four hundred a day. It was the same with hunting. Aten were not content to stay at home in winter to hunt two or three days weekly. They had to live with the times, and the more they hunted tho better it was for the country as a whole.
