Fox hunts appear to be operating as normal during COVID restrictions, it has emerged.
Scottish Greens environment spokesperson Mark Ruskell MSP has raised the issue after The League Against Cruel Sports reported that Scottish hunts appear to be going out as usual three times a week, with large gatherings of people reported.
Hunts appear to be exploiting two exceptions which allow six people to gather for ‘pest control’ and 30 to gather for ‘equestrian events’.
This is happening while citizens are confined to a two household and six-person limit.
