Law on Hunting Dogs

[bosschester]

Is it legal within the terms of recent legislation, to use dogs and/or ferrets to flush out rabbits and club them to death.
This is happening in a government establishment!

"There are some tightly drawn exemptions to the Act, which allow hunting activities to take place in limited circumstances and with the consent of the occupier or owner of the land, such as . . . ratting and rabbiting . . . ".
