sport of hunting fox on horseback with the aid of hounds; participate in a fox hunt
Fox hunting is a type of
hunting in which trained
dogs pursue a prey animal, which is traditionally the
red fox, although in other countries adopting the same hunting form, other prey animals are chased. The prey animal is followed by human hunters who are usually on
horses, but sometimes on foot. Proponents and participants view it as a crucial part of
rural history and culture in the
United Kingdom and
Ireland, vital for
conservation, and a method of
pest control. However, many people, especially those with an interest in
animal welfare, object to it on grounds of perceived cruelty and lack of necessity. Other people object to fox hunting other reasons such as class divides.
