Scottish Greens pledge to end fox hunting

THE Scottish Greens have pledged to put a stop to fox hunting after May’s Holyrood election.

Scotland banned fox hunting in 2002, but loopholes still allow hunts to continue. Some 800 foxes are killed in Scotland every year. 

The Scottish Greens are hoping to achieve a total ban by revisiting a 2019 Bill which would have closed the loopholes.
