Not the greatest piece of research.
As the basis for most of the information in this report are articles from the BBC website, telegraph and guardian and not from official sources.
The only credible source is the burns report.
Anyway the overwhelming impression that this report gives is that hunts are carrying on as normal killing as many foxes as they did before the ban, which heralds the question, Why have a ban in the first place?
It's plainly obvious that it is not being enforced, which just backs up my view that the ban was brought in as a smite against a certain class, to show a little muscle, and in reality the government don't really care about the welfare of the fox as they and the police are quite happy to let the practice continue.
