Schedule 3 - Hunting with Dogs: Prohibition
Hunting Bill
10:45 am
Mr Edward Leigh (Gainsborough, Conservative)
On the point of how one defines hunting, can my hon. Friend explain what will happen to someone who is walking their dog when it chases and kills a rabbit? Could they conceivably be prosecuted by the police and be given a criminal record? I know that that is unlikely, but is it conceivable under the provisions of the Bill?
