Two arrested over alleged breaches of Scottish fox hunting laws

It comes after video surveillance and complaints were submitted by anti-hunting groups in the Scottish Borders.A spokesperson said: “Since the introduction of the Hunting with Dogs Act in October 2023, we have investigated six reports of illegal fox hunting.

“A second man, aged 55 years, was arrested following a report of three further hunting offences. He has been released pending further inquiry.” Wellbeing Economy Secretary Mairi McAllan helped to pilot the legislation through parliament and said: “The chasing and killing of a wild mammal with a dog, for sport, or otherwise, has no place in modern Scotland.

“This bill is about closing those loopholes, preventing others from opening and finally ending illegal hunting with dogs in Scotland.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
