.
New laws were passed earlier this year to clamp down on the practice and close previous loopholes in legislation. Now, the Houston-based Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Foxhounds - first established in 1771 - is following suit.

Sick Conrad Jones taunted activists who were trying to protect the creature by tossing it to the dogs while being filmed and urging them to tear its body to pieces.
