In February the Hunting with Dogs (Scotland) Bill was introduced to the Scottish Parliament and there is a consultation on the proposals.
BASC will submit a response to the questions in the long survey and we would encourage forum members to respond to the online short survey.
We want to ensure that shooting activities, such as flushing quarry to guns, and the ability to control foxes is not impeded by the Bill.
The focus of our response will be the requirement of more than two dogs to flush foxes from large areas of cover, the complications arising from defining rabbits and squirrels within the legislation, and the rationale behind a 14-day licence for pest control but a two-year licence for work that is of environmental benefit.
Click the link below to have your say on the proposals - deadline is 13 May.
