Current Affairs MPs loosen fox-hunting regulation, provoking outcry from animal rights groups
Fox hunting in the Czech Republic may not come with all of the red coats and horses that you might expect to see elsewhere – often it’s more a case of one man and his dog in the woods. But here, just like in other countries, it is a controversial issue nonetheless. On Tuesday, the Czech parliament approved a law which allows hunters to train their dogs through direct contact with foxes. Previously, foxes and dogs had to be kept apart by a cage during training, so that neither suffered injury. Animal rights groups are dismayed by the move.
