Killing with one dog and I guess it doesn't make much difference to the fox or the people chasing it considering they don't see it killed...

Worse I'd say, not a bad article even if the Mail couldn't help itself in places from sensationalising. I never knew this either
And far more pregnant vixens are being killed, too. When a marksman takes aim or a snare is set, it is almost impossible to tell if the victim is an expectant female.
Yet, in one of nature's strange quirks, a vixen gives off no scent when she is pregnant. So, ironically, pregnant females were completely safe from the hunts as the hounds could not follow her trail.
