I have copied and pasted Herne's response from where we discussed this a while back:
Of course mistakes can happen - when you are dealing with any sorts of animals, there is always scope for error.
The anti-hunt brigade try to make out that it happens every other day, but when you consider that there are 300 packs of hounds going out at least twice a week for seven months of the year, you are talking about 18-20 thousand hunting days to generate only a tiny number of incidents it puts it into proportion.
Statisitically, the antis would be more likely to run over someone's pet on the way to work than the hounds would be to kill one whilst at work.
