| With public opposition to fox
hunting in Scotland running high, The Countryside Alliance scored a major propaganda coup
in Edinburgh by unveiling a talking fox to waiting journalists. The fox, cradled lovingly in the arms of a field sports supporter told
journalists that Mike Watson's Bill to outlaw fox hunting was "a road of
ruggish." Warming to its theme the brightly coloured little animal cast into doubt
assertions that foxes didn't especially enjoy being hunted to exhaustion and then torn to
bits:
" It's agsorutely grilliant!"" the
representative of the genus Vulpes insisted. Sporting a neat little hacking jacket and
matching waistcoat, the talking fox concluded his address to journalists by reciting the
"alphaget" while the gentleman holding him spluttered his way through drinking a
glass of water. |
When watching journalists then
pointed out that the talking fox was in fact just a cheap copy of beloved vent dummy Gasil
Grush, field hunt supporters present became restive, running around on all fours, barking,
baying at the moon and sniffing each other's bottoms. A human spokesman for the group asserted that the hounds present didn't mind
being dressed up in Barbour jackets and green wellies. to make the crowd of supporters
seem bigger. "No one can doubt," the spokesman continued, "That the Field
sports community enjoys widespread inter-species support."
With that he jumped on to a waiting chariot and made off,
flogging a harnessed team of farm labourers into a decent clip, while making tootling
noises on some kind of horn thing. |
