Fox hunting is an activity involving the tracking, chase, and sometimes killing of a fox, traditionally a red fox, by trained foxhounds or other scent hounds, and a group of followers led by a master of foxhounds, who follow the hounds on foot or on horseback. Fox hunting originated in the United Kingdom in the 16th century, but is practised all over the world, including Australia, Canada, France, Ireland, Italy, Russia, and the United States. In Australia, the term also refers to the hunting of foxes with firearms similar to spotlighting or deer hunting. The controversy around fox hunting led to the passing of the Hunting Act 2004, in November of that year, which effectively outlawed the sport in England and Wales from February 18, 2005, after, in a free vote, the House of Commons rejected the option of a licensed hunting under stricter conditions, advocated by then Prime Minister Tony Blair and some members of the government's independent inquiry on fox hunting including its chairman Lord Burns and the eminent veterinary surgeon and Conservative peer, Lord Soulsby, the latter who had worked for the pro-hunting Countryside Alliance's predecessor body, the British Field Sports Society before his appointment to the Burns Inquiry committee. The passing of the Hunting Act was also notable in that it was implemented through the use of the Parliament Acts 1911 and 1949 after the unelected House of Lords refused to pass the legislation, despite the Commons passing it by a majority of 356 to 166. Scotland, which has its own Parliament, banned fox hunting in 2002, over two years before the ban in England and Wales, whilst it remains legal in Northern Ireland. After the ban on fox hunting, hunts say that they follow artificially laid trails, although the League Against Cruel Sports has alleged widespread law breaking. Supporters of fox hunting claim that the number of foxes killed by dogs has increased since the ban, that hunts have
