Suddenly the fox ran into the yard followed by the hounds and the only way out was the small gateway in which I was standing.<br /><br />The fox, in sheer desperation to get out, leapt at me and bit me badly on the arm, but before he could do any more damage the dogs were on us. They tore the fox to bits but didn't touch me thankfully. I finished up in hospital. To this day I still occasionally have bad dreams about it.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200342372174623936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4941930385963521365.post-34669114284661202562010-08-25T20:02:22.931+01:002010-08-25T20:02:22.931+01:00A brave and honest comment.

I remember seeing the bull chase in Spain, bulls with arrows all over them being chased by a crowd of obvious animal haters.
