The U.K.'s highest court upheld a ban on fox-hunting with dogs, ending one of two legal challenges to the law.
Supporters of the sport had challenged the ban, which took effect in England and Wales in February, claiming that it was unlawfully adopted by Parliament. Britain's Law Lords today dismissed their case in a judgment released in London.
Meanwhile, all the mounted hunts continue to pursue fox, which are shot and worked with terriers in complete accordance with the law. There has not been one sucessful prosecution under the "ban."
