ICE - special Czech law on fox hunting upsets 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 the issue is just as controversial as elsewhere. The Czech parliament has just 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.
