‘Are they going to eat me alive?’: trail runners become prey in newest form of hunting

The recent trend of trail runners volunteering to be chased by bloodhounds in England and Wales reflects a significant shift in hunting practices, where traditional methods are being replaced by this new form of sport. This phenomenon raises ethical concerns about the cruelty associated with hunting, paralleling other societal issues such as the emotional challenges faced by caregivers, as seen in the story of Kirsty Grandison, who shares her experiences on social media while caring for her son. Both narratives highlight the complexities of human experiences in the face of societal norms.
