The British Hound Sports Association put out an informational video explaining Trail Hunting versus hunting live game (now illegal in the England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland). This video comes on the heels of Scotland passing legislation to outlaw trail hunting, and the Labour Party in England announcing their intention to follow Scotland in banning trail hunting. Trail hunting has become under attack from those who believe that it is a cover for illegally hunting live game with hounds.
A statement from the British Hound Sports Association was released with the video, “Following on from our trail hunting demonstration days, we have produced a short video which explains how the sport effectively replicates a traditional hunting day, but without an animal being chased, injured or killed.”
