Hunts “ready to repeal”

The survey, which was sent to 300 hunts, showed that 93 per cent of respondents report that they have at least the same number of subscribers as before the Hunting Act came into force, and that 89 per cent of respondents say there is also an increase in support from their local communities since the Act.
