Environmental groups fear the ban on foxhunting is being ignored as hunters prepare for the largest event of the year this Boxing Day.

Across the country, 53 foxhunts are scheduled to meet on Wednesday, including two on National Trust land. However, campaigners say there are likely to be more fox, hare and stag hunts that are not listed.

Hunting groups have faced allegations that blood sport has continued under the guise of trail hunting, and charities say there have been dozens of reports of foxes being pursued and killed since November 2018 when the hunting season began.

Chris Pitt, the deputy director of campaigns at the League Against Cruel Sports, said: “Wild animals – including foxes, hare and deer – are still being chased to exhaustion across the British countryside before being torn to pieces by packs of trained hunting hounds.

They keep daring people to remember that they are not fit to live, and filthy pieces of crap, and that they are all overdue a day of ferocious pay-back. Hoping they will get drunker and drunker, suffer more and more accidents, and finally self-destruct. As has already been said, there is nothing civilized about this behavior, and helpless victims pay the price for their debauchery. Could NOT hate them more.

2. What's the point of it except tradition?

Do they want to eradicate the fox and be overrun by rabbits? The story will be “No Fox and just Hares”
