This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Petition Amend the Hunting Act 2004 to include a ban on riding out with hunting hounds.
The Act is deficient in that it allows hunt clubs to ride out with hounds. Hounds do not abide by the law. They pick up the scent of a fox, they chase. The law continues to be flouted in the UK and foxes are still being killed. If hunt clubs aren't hunting, there's no requirement for hunt hounds.
