Hunting with hounds in Scotland was banned in 2002, however one large loophole allows hunts to flush a fox to a gun using as many hounds as they like.
This, they claim, is what they now do. The truth is that they don’t flush to guns because, if they did, then they wouldn’t be “holding up” when they go cub hunting. Holding up is when mounted hunt riders surround a covert/wood and drive any cubs back into the wooded area for young hounds to learn how to kill.

Jed Forest Hunt in their newsletter which we have hold of and you can view here, gives you a glimpse into the satisfaction hunters get from killing foxes:

How are hounds ever “Given Foxes”? We looked at Jed Forest Hunt Facebook page where a picture account of their first day hunting on 8th September was posted to their page at Noon on the 9th September.
They quite blatantly have photographed themselves and written up a report that outlines how they kill foxes illegally.
If you would like to contact the hunt, we have been passed on a list of their email addresses, please do spend a few minutes emailing them and asking them to justify their criminal behaviour:
