RE: Seasons Greetings Day 4

This looks similar to drag hunting, but there are key differences, including the fact that hounds are still trained to follow an animal-based scent. This means that when the trail hunts go out, their hounds often pick up the scent of a real animal, chase it and kill it – then the hunts claim that it was an “accident”.

Hello @timothyallen Sir, how do you do?

If this be the case, then what is the use of the ban which came into effect in Feb 2005?

Sort:  

Obviously, the usefulness of the ban is that it works sometimes. It is of use to some foxes and not others.

Of course, @timothyallen Sir, what you said is correct. When I read that news, I was really upset that the law ban was unable to stop the cruelty meted to the foxes fully. With the ban, the impact has been reduced somewhat and that means a lot. Thanks for enlightening my mind, Sir.
