Well if I have offended anyone I apologize to all, as that was not my intent. I am really sick about how all this is playing out. Not only will this great breed of dogs suffer because of this strife, I believe people will suffer because of it to. I have always wanted to attend the World Hunt and see and meet the differant people who run these dogs, and to see some of the dogs there. Was wondering how I was going to swing it, but I dont believe that I will ever attend the hunt now. This association as we know it has already split, dont believe it, just look at what is going on on this board. Sounds to me from the posts on this board that there are some who already are making plans as to what will go on at the meeting. There will be a small number of people deciding what is going to happen, at least that is the drift I get. I can not even begin to relay how I feel about all of this. There is alot of bickering, hate talk, threatening talk, and some of which sounds like to me jealousy and fear. I am fairly sure of what is going to happen and there is not one thing that can change that as things stand now. So let it happen. The split has already happened. Will be interesting to hear how the meeting went and how bad things blew up. As I said before, this is going to hurt this breed , but more importantly some of it will come back and hurt the people more than we might like to think.
