answer text

This government will not amend the Hunting Act 2004 and therefore we have not made any assessment of any potential amendments. The Hunting Act 2004 makes it an offence to hunt a wild mammal with dogs except where it is carried out in accordance with the exemptions in the Act, and completely bans hare coursing. The full details of the Hunting Act 2004 exemptions are available online at: <a href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/37/schedule/1" target="_blank">www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/37/schedule/1</a>. Those found guilty under the Act are subject to the full force of the law. Enforcement of the Hunting Act is an operational matter for the police.
