Why not ? Foxhunting is a perfectly legal occupation in England and Wales
although our dictatorial government may decree otherwise in the near future.
I spend every Sunday working on a preserved steam railway in Yorkshire. Last
weekend we held our annual Wartime Weekend when , apart from many military
uniforms being worn, I can remember seeing at least 4 ladies in wartime
civilian dress all wearing fox furs, complete with heads. Nothing to be
ashamed of at all.

> I still have the fox, though my mother had it made into a stole. The head
hangs down the middle of the back. I've never known of another occasion
where it could be worn. Would they let me into England with it?
