The question / topic has been been answered correctly and validated with references for all interested parties to verify, ingnoring the unsubstantiated / reactionary posts.
Time now to go home (that is inclusive of those non hunting trolls....)

Fiagai,
by all accounts, you and I are one and the same, which will be news to both of us!
I'd wonder if you'd agree with me, when I say, that the difference between stupidity and reason, is that the former knows no bounds.

Indeed it feels strange to be talking to myself. That said I dont think we are allowed to agree on anything even if we are one and the same (well that is according to other sources anyway) but yes your / mine own statement is veritable. Maybe you / I would like to add to this logic that the problem with common sense is that it is sadly not very common....

Seems to me that this thread has answered the original question and has now been hijacked by pro v. anti in-fighting.
Folks, the facts are that the Hunting Act was most probably an anti-class act, it certainly wasn't a well thought out piece of legislation, the whole pro v. anti thing just gets taken over by the polarised stand-points of either side, when, in reality, for those who hunt and are employed through the act of hunting and those who don't or are not, the police, the government and not least the foxes, there should be some agreement on a middle-ground, perhaps some managed and controlled hunting activity, which is still more humane than the possible alternatives of shooting, trapping or poisoning all of which can lead to more suffering and more indiscriminate killing of wildlife.
Unfortunately, these things never happen because those who shout loudest, usually the most extreme supporters or opposition are the only ones that get heard, when in fact, those who have the most reasoned arguments are ignored. Everyone has the right to an opinion, EVERYONE, but everyone should also have a large dose of empathy to go along with it!
I hunt, I also understand why people may feel it is cruel and why people see foxes as beautiful creatures, which healthy ones are, but the old, mangy and diseased ones that were normally despatched by the hunt (pre.ban) were not and these, like any old or infirm wild creature (see any documentary about big cats) are the ones who kill livestock, etc as they can no longer hunt effectively so look for an easy meal!
We can all shout and name call, it does no good, we all, both sides, need to understand each other, the needs of the countryside and the needs to humanely control the fox population in a way which will ensure it's survival.
