Blood-spattered Fox Hunting Season Begins
A blog by Chris Luffingham, deputy chief executive at the League Against Cruel Sports.
This weekend marks the start of the fox hunting season, a barbaric blood sport that still affects the countryside. Hunts have been training their hounds to kill by targeting fox cubs, and the beginning of November officially starts the season.
Despite a ban twenty years ago, hunts will continue to chase and kill foxes until the end of March. Their hounds are trained to kill, and the huntsman will let them loose to find their quarry - the red fox.
The harrowing truth is that once it is found, if a fox becomes exhausted, makes a wrong move, or is simply not fast enough, the hounds seize it and literally tear it apart.
