What ban on hunting foxs are you on about, there is no outright ban on hunting foxs in this country. There is a ban on hunting with hounds, which technically makes it illegal if when walking you dog it catches and kills a rabbits etc.
Due to the nature of the supposed ban on 'fox hunting' it is perfectly legal to chase a fox with hounds as log as the hounds do no catch the fox. This means you can flush out a fox with hounds as log as it is killed by something else, for instance it is then shot or caught and kill by another animal like a bird of pray.
A perfect case of wasting MP time combined with dubious reporting and evan more dubious legal wording purely for votes, animal cruelty you must be joking.

Of course, you are right, thats what I meant, as you say, you can still use the hounds but then shoot the fox or something like that, Bit like having a dog and barking youself :roll:
But there are plenty hunts going on that the hounds still get the fox, its what they were bred for, how do you stop it? the only way is to cull the hounds which of course are not vermin to a farmer, nor do they kill the chickens or endanger the livestock young!! Whereas the fox does and is and also helps spread disease like mange!
Most farmers I know keep the fox population down with the rifle, so what the hunts used to get was a very small proportion. useless government legislation!!

Its still legal to Drag Hunt, which is what they are all doing :wink: ... are they not?? :wink:
To be fair, how the hell do you police a fox hunt...??? believe me I have been involved in trying, it was a total joke, we ended un arresting the sabs for a public order offence... However it was a nice day out :lol:
