Drone footage shows hounds chasing fox in what campaigners claim is an illegal hunt

SWNS

Dramatic drone footage shows hounds chasing and catching a fox - in what campaigners claim is an illegal hunt.  Saboteur groups filmed a pack of dogs running around a bush after the animal - which makes multiple attempts to escape.  The fox is eventually mauled and grabbed by a hound's jaws before it manages to escape - but the impact of its injuries are left unknown.  Hunters on their horses can be seen observing the attack near East Huntspill in Somerset last Wednesday (October 2).
