Implement the same laws for hunting hound packs as domestic dogs

Petition Details

It is a common occurrence that hunting packs allow their hounds to run free and uncontrolled. We would like to see the same laws in place for hunting dog packs as domestic dogs therefore making it illegal to run these hounds if not under proper and safe control over any land

Additional Information

It is well documented that hunting packs allow the hounds to run amok, uncontrolled and often causing great distress and making mental stress a huge issue for those landowners that do not allow hunting on their land. There have been many instances where hounds have jumped closed gates, over fences and in one case even entered a protected species rehabilitation centre causing unrivalled stress to the animals there due to the hunt masters inability to control hound packs. This terrorises homeowners, pets, animals and damages land beyond comprehension .... this must stop

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Organisers of trail hunts are already required to keep animals under control. The enforcement of this would be a matter for the police, not the UK Government or Parliament.
