    An exhibition on at the moment in Durham, based on blood sports, feature`s this painting from 1844 as the centre piece. Called `The Otter Speared`, it portrays an otter speared and writhing above a pack of baying hounds. The painter is Sir Edwin Landseer who also sculptured those famous lions in Trafalgar Square. The painting has been withheld from public view until now for being too gruesome. Looks worse than fox hunting. A nostalgic painting from Victorian times, or an example of the vulgar side of Victorian society?
