Public Supports Move To Drag Hunting
Most people in the UK do not believe hunting with dogs is humane, according to the latest research conducted by the MORI Social Research Institute. MORI SRI was commissioned by a number of animal welfare groups to see if public opinion had changed by many of the high profile arguments for and against a ban on hunting.

MORI SRI was commissioned by a number of animal welfare groups to see if public opinion had changed by many of the high profile arguments for and against a ban on hunting.
Of 1,002 people surveyed by MORI, three quarters (74%) disagree that hunting with dogs is humane and a similar number (72%) believe if people want to hunt they should go drag hunting, where an artificial scent is followed instead of a live quarry.
The research was carried out for CPHA, an umbrella group of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), League Against Cruel Sports and the RSPCA.
