Hunting foxes from horseback with hounds is what they were brought here for also, by those ruling-class assholes. It seems a rather antiquated concept these days.
Those ruling-class individuals also sent two of my relatives to the Port Arthur penal colony for minor offences back in the early 1800's and thought that brutal place was humane, especially considering both were initially handed death penalties which were commuted to transportation. Port Arthur was generally a death sentence though, however my ancestors survived their twenty year sentences. I'm proud of them.
Times were different back then I guess, there's no more convict transportation...maybe it's time to end hunting foxes with hounds?
