flag UK plans to ban trail hunting, calling it a cover for illegal fox hunting and a threat to wildlife.

flag The UK government plans to ban trail hunting, citing concerns it is being used as a cover for illegal fox hunting and endangering other wildlife. flag Although legal since the 2004 ban due to no direct animal killing, authorities now believe the practice is misused to simulate traditional hunts, with hounds sometimes following unintended scents. flag A public consultation on the ban, a manifesto pledge, will begin next year as part of a broader animal welfare strategy aimed at improving conditions for pets, farmed animals, and wildlife. flag Environment minister Baroness Hayman stated evidence shows trail hunting is being used as a smokescreen for unlawful activities, which is unacceptable.
