Following many years of campaigning by animal welfare organisations a ban on hunting with dogs in England and Wales came into force in 2005.
Since 1996 the RSPCA has worked in partnership with the International Fund for Animal Welfare and the League Against Cruel Sports through a group known as Campaigning to Protect Hunted Animals (CPHA).
With the help of its vast army of campaign supporters, the CPHA lobbied the government for an end to this cruel and outdated sport.
Since hunting with dogs was outlawed, many hunts have switched to trail or drag hunting, which involves following a scent rather than chasing a live animal.
