In January 2023, the Scottish Government ended the ‘sport’ of foxhunting. 

 

 

 

 

Under the Hunting with Dogs (Scotland) Bill, there is now a two-dog limit for flushing wild mammals to guns, effectively putting an end to fox hunting packs. 

The legislation also banned trail hunting, which has been used as a smokescreen to allow fox hunting to continue in England.

We campaigned tirelessly to secure a ban on the 'sport' of foxhunting in Scotland. We were instrumental in achieving the 2002 legislation that aimed to ban foxhunting and subsequently worked tirelessly to strengthen the legislation when it became apparent that foxhunting packs were exploiting loopholes to operate much as they did before the 'ban’.
