LOUTH HUNT BALL DEMONSTRATION ,
beside the RDS Horse Show, at Four Seasons Hotel, Ballsbridge, Dublin, Saturday 12th at 7.15.pm
‘.Animal abuse… Cubbing and Digging out-the darker side of the hunting and horsey set.’
Whilst the ‘Horsey Set’ celebrate the sanitised Dublin Horse Show this week, the darker more sinister side of the coin, cub- hunting or ‘cubbing’ as it is known commences…
Cub-hunting and fox-digging are shrouded in secrecy, for obvious reasons. There will be no outside witnesses. The object of cub hunting is to train young foxhounds in pack work and ultimately to give them a taste for fox blood! Another reason is to disperse the fox cubs over a wider area…for better hunting. Cub hunting takes place in the early morning usually at the Masters invitation…and it starts now.
‘If a cub is seen exiting it will be frightened back by the mounted followers slapping their saddles with their crops. These fox cubs are used as ‘blooding tools’ by the bloodthirsty hunters’.
Any misconceptions about foxhunting or the sordid issue of cub-hunting exists only in the minds of its apologists. It is an odious activity that should have been consigned to the dustbins of history long ago.
