 AR.net >> Number of Foxes Killed in Scotland Increases After Ban   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Hunts in Scotland claim that since hunting with dogs was banned, the number of foxes killed by hunts has skyrocketed to 250 since August, compared to a total of 140 foxes killed in all of 2000 (there was no hunting at all in 2001 due to foot-and-mouth restrictions).
Under the ban, hunting foxes is allowed to eliminate pests, but the foxes have to be shot rather than killed by dogs -- except if the hunter can prove that he intended to shoot the fox but the animal was killed by the dogs.
Scotland on Sunday quoted Les Ward of Advocates for Animals as being skeptical of the claims of increased killings of foxes saying, "They would say it's business as usual, but I can tell you that it's not."
