Absolutely right.
This I do believe is used at times as a smokescreen to end up hunting and get around the original ban.

Despicable vile things on horseback getting pleasure of exhausting and torturing wild animals just trying to survive in their habitats.
I'm over the moon the government intends to end this loophole of barbaric thinking.

As a child, I was left traumatised seeing the result of an actual hunt which left me campaigning for and always supporting anti hunt organisations.
This is good news absolutely, although it will infuriate Nigel Farage who thinks this wrong to ban.
Plus that hunting wild animals with dogs etc; should be seen as just a British tradition.
Despicable thinking.
I still hope more will be done to enforce the original hunting ban too.

Plus I'd love to see more looked into as to animal abuse by some farmers and their staff of the animals in their charge until their already short lives are ended in slaughter houses.

Animal welfare is often sadly and wrongly bypassed.
I'm really glad the government is going on this road again now.
