Hi,
Can I ask why foxhounds/harriers are phased out? Is it because they are too fleet of foot and don't give "enough chance" to the quarry?
I pity all those hounds which will suddenly be retired halfway through their life because of some Ł$%% in an office says so.

Can I ask how many people ignore such laws? If you are on a huge station or in the wilderness, do you really have to use the minimum caliber or the right breed (all moral concerns aside)?
