UK opposition party Labour has pledged to eliminate fox hunting “within its first term” in power.
Currently, hunting with dogs is illegal in the UK. However, the practice continues under the cover of “trail hunting,” where hounds follow a pre-laid scent.
Reports have shown how, despite the ban, illegal fox hunting continues to have devastating impacts across the UK.
Last year, Scotland introduced new legislation to crack down on illegal fox hunting.
In the UK. No human hunts for needed food. Just sport or culling.
But in the 21st century. There are definatly places where it is still a better less cruel and environmentally damaging, option then mass farming and trasportation of goods.
Culling u Is also sometimes practically necessary. Due to human enviromental changes/damage.
There are times when mankind has to take responsibility for its own harm. And prevent prey etc animals from being wiped out. Due to our effect on preditor species.
Hunting isn’t about culling, fox hunting is about chasing down an animal with a pack of hounds for the pleasure of a bunch of bloodthirsty rich people. Culling is necessary but it should be done by professionals in a humane manor.
