Fox hunts in Scotland 'still using dogs to chase down animals' despite ban (www.dailyrecord.co.uk)

Animal campaigners claim new laws to prevent illegal fox hunting with packs of dogs are being flouted.

Footage taken by activists from the League Against Cruel Sports show hunts out with packs of foxhounds during the latest hunting season, which ended in March.

Hunts get round fox hunting rules by claiming to be “drag hunting” - a form of equestrian sport, where horses, riders and hounds follow the trail of an artificial scent laid down by human volunteers.
