Schedule 3 - Hunting with Dogs: Prohibition
Hunting Bill
2:15 pm
Mr Ian Cawsey (Brigg and Goole, Labour)
Is my hon. Friend aware that research now shows that where otter numbers have recovered because of a ban on hunting with dogs, they have re-claimed their natural aquatic territory and have moved the mink out, and that therefore mink numbers have fallen? That ban has been much more effective than hunting with dogs.
