	Fox hunting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fox hunting is often thought of as a primarily British activity in which trained dogs pursue red fox, followed by human hunters who are usually on horses but sometimes on foot.
		Hunt saboteurs are the most controversial of anti-hunt activists, and may actively interfere in hunts by various means, legal and illegal.
		Opponents of fox hunting claim that the activity is not necessary for fox control, arguing that the fox is not a pest species and that hunting does not and cannot make a real difference to fox populations [7].
