Channel 4 News published this video item, entitled “Hunters chase stag on quad bikes despite ban” – below is their description.
Hunting stags with packs of dogs has supposedly been illegal for almost 20 years – although there are some exemptions.
However – despite the ban – hunts are continuing with impunity.
We’ve been sent footage of stags being chased on National Trust land involving people on quad bikes as well as horses.
While on another hunt – it’s one of the hounds which appears to be at risk.
There is some distressing footage in this story.

Thankyou for showing this footage on your news last night. It made shocking viewing and we can only hope puts pressure to close these loop holes in a ban not fit for purpose.
