Ten years on since hunting with dogs was banned in England and Wales, Farming Today explores what the ban has meant for both sides of the debate. Sybil Ruscoe visits the Bicester with Whaddon Chase hunt where she meets huntsmen Patrick Martin and his pack of hounds as they prepare to go out for a days hunting. Pro-hunt supporters, such as Patrick, would like to see the Hunting Act repealed by government, however anti-hunt campaigners are calling for tighter regulations. Sybil hears from the League Against Cruel Sports about the changes they would like to see and questions the RSPCA on the high profile prosecutions they have brought forward since the ban was enforced.
Presented by Sybil Ruscoe and produced by Lucy Bickerton.
