As I suspected, it's all been a bit of a balls up. Sure, they banned fox hunting, in a sense, but when you start damaging people's ways of living, their professions, and their hobbies, people tend to find loopholes in the law.

Since they can't directly hunt with dogs anymore, hunts are going out with birds of prey. Surprisingly, an eagle owl can kill a fox, but it takes its time. So you chase the fox with the dogs till it's exhausted, then let the owl go in and painfully and slowly kill the tired creature. Or, as tends to be happening, a dog will "accidentally" kill a fox, but not under direct orders. That's allowed.

Let's repeal this silly law and rewrite it properly.
