Laughably, stag hunts claim they chase deer for "research and observation", a loophole in the Hunting Act. Two hounds are allowed, so they also run relays of hounds in twos, backed by quad bikes, until the stag collapses and is shot. Defra must close every exemption, not one. Please use our handy tool to send a letter to Defra, telling the government not to allow a new loophole - drag hunting - to replace current loopholes. If you tried to send this letter before and it failed, please try again! All errors should be fixed. Via @ProtectTheWild_.
