Scotland on Sunday: Hunts claim fox deaths soar after ban- Claire Gardner. The new Protection of Wild Mammals Bill which allows hunting but insists on foxes being shot rather than killed by hounds has resulted in 250 dead foxes since August, compared with 140 in 2000. Hunts also claim a large number of foxes have escaped with serious injuries after being hit by gunshots and not killed outright.
