Many times did I read a book by a famous Polish writer about life in Eastern Poland before WW1. As a child he participated in a hunt and witnessed how dogs were fed the hare`s legs after a successful several-mile chase. He claims they knew it wasn`t proper food to satisfy hunger but a special kind of reward for good job in human service!  Hares' legs must be a doggy delicacy! Did you know that hunters call those legs - jumps ? The jargon for animal body parts is really amazing, some are popular words, but most are completely exotic, not known to the public. E.g., hare ears are called hearers. A male hare is called a cat.  Deer eyes are called candles, their legs - sticks, penis- brush, tail - flower, bottocks - mirror.   Wild boar nose is called tobacco holder, its tusks - sabres and pipes, coat - dress, back legs - pins.  www.lomza.pzlow.pl/2016/06/slownik-gwary-lowieckiej/ |

Wow, they really do have their own unique language for the body parts!...I never would have known! But, just because I'm fascinated by their jargon, it doesn't mean I feel any better about those photos you've posted of the rows and rows of dead animals laid out and being admired by the hunters!  |

Oops, I see those images got imprinted on your mind for good. Next time I must include a warning: Explicit content. |
