History neutrality

[edit]

The history section of this article is riddled with opinion and NPOV emotive language. Needs a professional NPOV edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.187.239.168 (talk) 13:32, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Added that all seemingly emotive language are clearly linked to true facts and can be verified.

This passage is even less neutral than the newspaper article that it cites (present tense, meaningful dwelling on minutiae, epithets and turns of phrase that describe a relatively mundane event like a war crime):

The video footage shows the dogs chase a fox across a field. As the hounds tear into the fox with their teeth, a member of the hunt reaches down and pulls the lifeless body of the animal from underneath the pack and slings it over the front of a colleague’s horse.

For the purposes of neutrality and readability, and in context (the footage was offered as a proof of alleged, illegal, controversial activity; police evidence) it should read something like this:

The video footage showed a pack of dogs chasing a fox across a field and killing it. Following them was a party of riders wearing traditional hunting garb; one of the riders picked up the carcass and slung it over a horse's back. AyeBraine (talk) 10:19, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
