Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse.
It is absolutely heartbreaking to have to share with you the sickening footage of West Norfolk Hunt cornering a fox in a private garden before their hounds tore the poor animal to pieces.
The mental trauma this fox must have gone through in these moments is unthinkable. As the baying pack marauded through the garden this terrified animal made a last ditch attempt to escape before being cut off by by the hounds.
Homeowner Daisy told ITV News: “The dogs were totally out of control. They couldn't control the dogs. And when they were trying to call them off, they had to remove the fox to get the dogs to stop.
"They left our patio covered in blood and intestine and kidney from the fox, they took the fox body and discreetly took it away, he put it inside his coat and then walked to the end of the driveway with it and passed it off to the quad bike that had no plates that was driving on the road.”
