In the 1880s, fox hunting became more popular. The hunters used roups of dogs to chase the foxes while they followed on horses. They wore special clothes for hunting: bright jackets- usually red- black boots and black hats. This tradition continued through the 1800s and 1900s, especially in rural areas. 2- However, many people in the UK were unhappy about the tradition of fox-hunting. It was especially unpopular among people who lived in cities. They thought it was a cruel and out-dated activity and argued that it is wrong to kill animals for fun. The government agreed, and on 15th September 2004, they made a new law to ban hunting with dogs. The traditional fox hunts had to stop. They were now illegal. 3- Some people in the countryside feel very strongly that the hunting ban is unfair. They argue that the government stopped the the hunts only because they dislike upper-class rural traditions. They say that: Foxes eat farm animals so farmers need help to protect their animals. In the countryside, 60% of people want fox-hunting to continue. We should respect rural traditions, and not allow people from cities to stop them. Fox hunts created jobs for people, so the ban does a lot of damage to the economy in the countryside. Some people even try to continue the tradition of hunting by using dogs and horses to chase a sock with a special smell, but it isn’t the same. So, which is more important: respecting a rural tradition or protecting foxes? It is still a question that divides town and country in Britain.. IS SE.  . re. AN. . ol.
