Fox & Hound [Sintober 5/31]

Sintober: Fox & Hound

The (man)hunt begins.

‘Fox & Hound’ is represented by a pair of local red fox vixens mauled to death by a gamekeeper’s hounds. Vital organs were exposed; neither had been shot. They were allowed to be torn apart while still alive.

I carried the rescued vixens on my back in a landscaping bag, their limp bodies thumping against calves as I slowly hunched my way through three snowy livestock fields, across two irrigation ditches, and over one stone wall to bring them home.

‘I don’t know what I’m going to do with these fucking foxes’ was short for ‘I know I need to ritually skin, dismember, and deflesh bones for maceration, potentially submit photos and location of dumped bodies to report a crime the police won’t give a toss about, find ways to discreetly and hygienically dispose of unused organs and muscle tissue, begin the resurrective process of rejoining spirit and bone, and summon the She-Wolf to help track down the scent of the fox-hunter’, and that’s exactly what I did.

Ritually extracted eyes were affixed to homemade fox-shaped cookies which were “released” where I found their savaged remains - new, unbroken bodies for the vixens to briefly inhabit as their eyes aided my familiar spirit in the manhunt. Their hearts, pelts, bones, and even the blood-soaked flattened cardboard boxes that they were dismembered on have all been preserved to enable me to direct a very local, very retaliatory Wild Hunt straight to the gamekeeper’s door.
