UK Government to Ban Trail Hunting: A New Animal Welfare Plan The UK government is set to ban trail hunting in England and Wales, marking a significant shift in animal welfare policy. This move comes as part of a new plan, to be announced on Monday, which aims to address concerns about the use of trail hunting as a cover for illegal hunting. Trail hunting involves laying a scent trail for hounds to follow, with riders on horseback chasing after them. Despite being legal since the 2004 hunting ban, officials argue that it has become a smokescreen for secretly chasing real wildlife. The ban on trail hunting was a key promise in the governments manifesto, and it is now moving forward with the plan. Anti-hunting groups like the League Against Cruel Sports have reported numerous incidents of foxes being chased, while trail hunting supporters argue that it is vital for rural communities, bringing in money, boosting mental health, and keeping traditions alive. Leaders from groups like the Country Alliance have criticized the ban, saying that the issue was settled twenty years ago. However, the animal welfare minister has confirmed that the government will start implementing the plans right away. A public consultation is planned for early next year to finalize the details of the ban. Trail hunting is already banned in Scotland, while it remains legal in Northern Ireland. This move could reshape countryside sports across the UK.
