foxhunting

Foxhunting is a traditional outdoor activity where hunters, often on horseback, pursue a fox across the countryside, guided by a pack of trained hounds. Historically, it aimed to catch or flush out the fox for sport. Modern practices may involve following the hounds' scent rather than actual pursuit, and some regions regulate or ban the activity due to concerns about animal welfare. Originally rooted in rural tradition, foxhunting blends horsemanship, teamwork, and outdoor enjoyment, with ongoing debates about its ethics and role in contemporary society.
