FOX hunters’ barbaric practice of training their hounds by hunting fox cubs is on the increase, according to the League Against Cruel Sports today.

The animal welfare charity said new figures “show the shocking scale of fox cub hunting across England and Wales this autumn.”

Dog packs are trained for fox cub hunting between August 1 to October 31 before the main fox hunting season starts in November, despite it being banned for almost 20 years.
