I believe the law is that only two hounds may chase an animal at any one time and then it must be shot. Really stupid IMO. I don't see why that is any less cruel than a whole pack chasing the animal. I think that in practice, many hunts completely ignore the law. Not that it really makes any difference to the anial being hunted. I expect it is just as terrified whether it is being chased by two hounds as by the whole pack.
How would they stop the other hounds anyway? This hunt had two large horse boxes full of hounds that all went out. They wouldn't stand a chance of stopping the pack
