UK Hound Racing
I never heard of it.
These are Trailhounds that are bred to race, a sport which has been going for nearly 200 years and has never involved hunting foxes, they follow a prelaid artificial scent of aniseed and paraffin which they race around over a cross country course back to their owners who are waiting for them, they don’t even know what a fox looks/smells like as they have been trained to hunt aniseed from young pups. Anyone is welcome to go and watch what goes on and the fixtures are published on the website with postcodes to the venues, which anyone can go and view as we have nothing to hide. Fox hunts also don’t have start lines and finish lines which hound racing does as they are competing in legal scent races. Katy Lyon
