The League Against Cruel Sports alleges that 61 foxes were chased in Dorset during the 2025/26 hunting season, despite a ban since 2005. The British Hound Sports Association (BHSA) disputes these claims, arguing the data lacks independent verification. Dorset recorded 164 incidents of hunt-related anti-social behavior, reportedly ranking highest in the UK. The League emphasizes public support for stronger laws against fox hunting, citing a consultation on banning trail hunting. However, the BHSA asserts that recognized hunts are regulated and that unproven allegations should not substitute for credible evidence or due process in addressing hunting practices.
