Daily Law Notes Report Summary
In banning the hunting with dogs of wild mammals in the Hunting
Act 2004 Parliament intended to prevent or reduce suffering to
animals because causing suffering to animals for sport was wrong.
The aim of the Act was legitimate, the ban was proportionate to
that aim and a legitimate exercise of public policy, and the state
was acting within its discretion in prohibiting hunting.
