Ban on fox hunting
Recently, the British House of Commons has adopted a legislation to ban fox hunting in England and Wales. Meanwhile, thousands of fox hunt supporters protested the decision outside the Parliament amid police barricade.
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II was reportedly not amused by the impending ban on fox hunting and she said so to Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Fox hunting is a traditional English sport in which foxes are hunted by specially trained dogs and by people on horses. It's a favourite pastime to many in Great Britain.

Some particular areas may be marked for foxes' safe home as protected zones, while other areas may be kept open to people interested in fox hunting.
