Next Generation Fox Hunting?
What will fox hunting in England look like after the ban? My guess is that it will look a lot like fox hunting before the ban. Terrier work will still be legal provided it is done to cull fox that threaten birds that are to be shot (which can include almost any bird that flies).
In addition, most of the local police departments have said they do not intend to enforce the law. How do you bring in 200 horsemen with their horses and 50 hounds? And what, exactly, is the visual difference between a drag hunt and a regular hunt?
The police do not know, and they are not that interested in finding out.
