Fox hunting

The event took place against the backdrop of a potential ban on trail hunting by the government.

The government says it is committed to banning the sport but has not given a time frame.

A bloodhounds masters says he is relieved his group would be excluded from plans to tighten the law.

The planned ban on trail hunting is another "dagger" for the rural community, a huntsman says.

Worcester's former Labour MP Mike Foster welcomes the ban, but it is opposed by the Ledbury Hunt.

The government says its animal welfare strategy will bring "the biggest reforms in a generation".

The government says the practice is being used as a "smokescreen" for the hunting of wild animals.
