Beaufort Hunt Hounds shot

[Catherine]

An undercover video shows one of the Beaufort Hunt Hounds being shot, then hauled away in a wheelbarrow. Every year many of them are shot for various reason. 
It is estimated that 7000 hounds are killed each year. They are a byproduct of the fox hunts. Only the best dogs are kept for hunting. The extras who don't perform as well are disposed of, just like the greyhounds who fail to run well enough.

There is a real pattern in the way dogs are used by some groups. They keep many animals and any that fail to meet a standard are killed.
Little effort is made to rehome these hounds. It is cheaper and faster to get rid of them.  The hunting is cruel and the dogs are trained to do it. Then they are cruelly killed.  What I saw in the video did not look like humane euthanasia of an injured animal. 

Sports that are built on cruelty like this always seem to end up treating their own animals cruelly. There is no doubt that things like fox hunting should be banned, for the foxes sake and for the sake of the dogs. Both animals suffer because of the hunt.
