10 Downing Street Newsroom: Hunting with dogs to be judged 'on a case-by-base basis'
Rural Affairs Minister's statement in full. Hunting with dogs will be permitted under the new
Hunting Bill on a case-by-case basis provided it satisfies two tests. The 'utility' test involves
asking what is necessary to prevent serious damage to livestock, crops and other property, and the
'cruelty' test which involves asking which effective methods of achieving that purpose cause the
least suffering.
