There had been very little Hunting during the War. The fox population  had increased to intolerable levels in many places. The government introduced a bounty for dead foxes. Many more Fox Destruction Societies (Gun Packs) were formed (encouraged by the government). They  used dogs to flush out foxes which were then shot at. Not all members of these Societies were accurate shots and many used shotguns. Many foxes were wounded rather than killed quickly. Not all wounded foxes  were found by the dogs. Those that escaped often died slowly from their  wounds. The Attlee Socialist Government faced pressures to remove the bounty and to rely on Hunting and shooting in a less unprofessional manner. However, the fact of a Socialist government had given more power to the Anti-Hunting Lobby and it pressed for a Ban on Hunting on the basis that it is cruel. Reasonably, the government set up an inquiry under two senior members of the legal profession. This has become known as the Scott-Henderson Inquiry (c.f. Burns)

After a thorough examination of the subject the inquiry recommended that Hunting should not be banned.

What has changed since these conclusions were reached?
