Perhaps in the area where you are.  Where is that by the way?

Get up here into "John Peel Country" and the public are most certainly 
not behind them.

The law does not stop the killing of foxes merely the hunting with dogs. 
They will be more likely after hunting stops to be snared, lamped, 
poisoned etc.  I suspect the cruelty will be much greater.  There is 
nobody in the middle of a dark field at night to control cruelty at 
least hunting is in daylight and easily observed.
