British hunters are attracted to the game fields of Dobrudzha, in Northeastern Bulgaria and the stud farm in Strazhitsa village

Representatives of the Royal Hunting Club in England, which is presided by Charles, the Prince of Wales, is looking for new fox hunt fields in Bulgaria.
Not long ago, the traditional for the UK fox hunting was banned and the British people keen on this kind of entertainment are now looking for new suitable game fields in France, the Netherlands and in Bulgaria. In the UK, there are about 15,000 horses, specially trained for fox hunting, and 35,000 hunting dogs. No gunshots are heard in fox hunting. The foxes are chased by the horses and the dogs and the rider just plunges forward, grabs the fox by the neck and strangles it to death. This has been the fourth trip of the British hunters to Bulgaria. They especially like the fields near Tsarkva village, in Northeastern Bulgaria.
A cross-country terrain without too much wood is ideal for fox hunting. The British hunters have already shown interest in the stud-farm in Strazhitsa village, and they intend to hire some of the facilities.
Now, there will be some important talks between representatives of the Hunting Club and experts of the Bulgarian Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Ministry of Environment and Waters.

Fair play to Bulgaria -- im not realy anti fox hunting but l do find the fox a beautiful animal. If Bulgaria can get much needed revenue with the rich coming over to enjoy thier killing spree then you must go for it . I would of course make them pay top dollar to run about your country shouting tallyho blowing those stupid horns and wearing those ridiculous outfits . lmao

To put it into perspective most properties for sale in rural Bulgaria are advertised as in a hunting area, so it seems that hunting in one form or another is acceptable so 'importing' a UK hunt should make little difference. Another point is that BG has many ecology restricted areas so a balance should be maintaned.

A fox would inflict more damage to a human arm than a pit bull terrier could! It's the hounds/beagles that kill the fox and the riders watch on from the safety of horseback. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
