From the Guardian:

“Up to 30 hunts have bought birds of prey – chiefly golden eagles and eagle owls – in an attempt to circumvent the government ban and continue full-scale foxhunting with hounds. The use of the predators is being driven by a belief that the Hunting Act 2004 contains a loophole that allows an unlimited number of dogs to “flush” a wild animal from cover so that a bird of prey can chase it.”

Weirdly, this move has incensed the chairman of Britain’s Hawk Board, the marvelously named Mr. Chick.

Why?

“Children might get hurt.”

Ah yes, ‘the children’. Of course.
