Being riddled with buckshot and taking days to die should not happen only careless hunters do that .I wouldn't use buckshot for a fox anyway totally inappropriate ,rifle everytime .Shotguns are for pheasants,rabbits and ducks which are collected quickly by a good dog and if not already dead made dead quickly by the huntsman .
I agree the legislation is flawed ,but that is no reason to repeal it,every reason to look closely at it and improve it

If you Google fox caught in snare you get 914 000 hits with a load of videos included to boot, a foxes neck isn't broken and I'd say the majority of foxes shot are done so carelessly by peeved farmers rather than hunters.
