Your front page article with pictures from the video taken of the Crawley and Horsham Hunt “accidentally” killing a fox found in undergrowth shows the shortcomings of policing the Hunting Act (The Argus, January 18).

Hounds should not be running about in undergrowth where foxes like to spend their time. Artificial trails should be laid in open country away from fox haunts and fox earths.

A map of the trail should be available well in advance and presented to the police so it can be checked. Until this is done “accidents” will occur.
