Rejected petition Make it illegal to use the running of dogs during Fox Hunt scent trails.
The government put a full ban on fox hunting that has never ever been taken seriously. Still they Hunt and still they use dogs and still the police let them ride. All by using a poor excuse saying “ we are not hunting but following a scent trail” in this many foxes are still being torn apart by dogs
More details
These groups use the excuse it’s an accident when dogs kill foxes but nothing is done about it. If they are not hunting then the run of pack hunting dogs are not needed in there rides. Also more and more dogs are being killed during the rides while chasing foxes across roads which is also endangering the lives of others. There needs to be a full ban put on the use of these dogs. It is blaitent animal abuse on all levels and must be stopped! There is no need for them when horse ridding at all.
