( www.huntingact.org/?q=node/3#Section_1_-_Hunting_Wild_Mammal ) Dogs rip apart the animals for sport.A young vixen owes her life to the quick thinking and courage of a huntmonitor from powa.org.uk who literally dived in and grabbed her from amongst the houndsthat were just about to maul her to death..The young woman wasout monitoring the Old Berks Fox Hounds who met at Elmwood House, BlackBourton in Oxfordshire. Not long after the hunt moved off , theHuntsman sent the hound pack into woodland and thick undergrowth.The hounds found the fox in scrub next to large slurry tanks on the edge of a farm.Fortunatelyfor the fox, her "guardian angel" was only feet away. With no thoughtfor her own safety, the monitor shouted at the hounds as they closed inon the fox, and running forward, was able to snatch the terrifiedanimal. She then scooped her up, away from amongst the hounds, whichwould in moments have undoubtedly torn the young animal to pieces. Thefox had already been bowled over onto her back, leaving her stomachexposed.
