The new Hunting With Dogs Bill will have “unintended consequences” on legitimate and vital fox control, Perthshire farmers have said.
On Tuesday evening, MSPs voted by 90 votes to 30 in favour of the Hunting With Dogs Bill, which updates the 2002 Protection of Mammals Act.
The bill states clearly that the act of chasing and killing a mammal with a dog for sport has absolutely no place and will no longer be tolerated in Scotland.
