THE long saga of the hunting debate would have ended sooner had the media been able to secure access to expose the cruelty behind the glamorous facade.
An example now is cub hunting, the training of novice foxhounds to hunt fox cubs.
If hounds behaving savagely towards fox cubs, before killing them, was televised with multi-angle replays and slow motion as in rugby league or cricket, then blood "sports" would surely have been banned long ago.
