Should fox hunting be banned? John Carmody and Gus O'Driscoll discuss

Jul 13, 2015, 09:42 AM

MPs will be asked to vote on changes to fox hunting laws in England and Wales this week. They're expected to be given a free vote on whether to adopt similar measures to Scotland, where an unlimited number of dogs can be used to find foxes. Currently it is illegal for dogs to kill foxes instead one or two dogs can be used to 'flush out' a fox from cover

Should this vote be used to change the rules or should it be used to ban the sport completely?

Gus O'Driscoll is a member of the Donegal Tyrone farmers hunt and John Carmody is from the animal activist group ARAN
