It's Time To Throw Out the Hunting Act!!

Tony Wright, the first huntsman prosecuted under the Hunting Act, had his conviction overturned on appeal in Exeter Crown Court on Friday 30th November. Mr. Wright, of the Exmoor Foxhounds, was found guilty in August 2006 at Barnstaple Magistrates Court, despite having used two hounds to flush foxes to be shot on 29th February 2005 as he believed was allowed by the Act. More people have been convicted of hunting rats under the Act than have been found guilty of illegal fox hunting.
