The Act does what it says it does: it bans the use of hounds to chase live animals and to rip them apart. Unnecessary abuse, and for human entertainment.

The real question is: where or how much hunts are obeying the law. Five convictions so far and more cases coming to court in the next few months.

Anyone who breaks this law should be prosecuted. And once the police start taking this seriously and more law-breaking hunters go to jail, the more likely it is that they will give up.
