 In 2002 the Scottish Parliament passed a law to ban the hunting of wild mammals with dogs but loopholes in this law have allowed this cruel practice to continue. I'm Alison Johnston MSP and I'm proposing a Members Bill that will finally properly ban the hunting of wild mammals with dogs in Scotland. It's not just foxes that need protection, the routine killing of mountain and brown hares in Scotland is a problem that must be urgently tackled to. And my proposed bill will give these iconic species the protection they too deserve. My consultation is now open and I very much look forward to hearing your views.
