Hundreds of animal rights activists marched through central London on Saturday to call for an end to the killing of fox cubs with hounds.

"Cubbing" or "cub hunting" takes place in autumn as a means of training the hounds to kill and also dispersing litters of foxes around the countryside.

Organisers of the march described the activity on their Facebook page
as "central to this barbaric bloodsport."

Legislation introduced in 2004 made it illegal to hunt and kill a fox and other wild mammals with dogs in England and Wales.

The tradition of fox hunting continues but most instead operate 'trail hunting', in which hounds chase artificially-laid animal scents such as fox urine rather than real animals.

However, animal rights activists claim many foxes are still being killed in the hunts.
