Are people still fox hunting?

Twenty years ago this week the Hunting Act was passing into law marking the beginning of the end for hunting foxes with dogs in Wales and England.

Now, with Labour back in government, the party has pledged to press on and ban trail hunting - which it said allows for foxes to still be illegally hunted.

The practice was adopted by many after the ban and often involves hunters laying a trail of fox urine through the countryside.

The pack then pretend they are still chasing a fox but critics say it is nothing more than a smokescreen.
