Take a journey into the English countryside with Sebastian Morello as he, Charlie Pye-Smith, and Jim Barrington discuss the consequences of Tony Blair’s 2004 ban on hunting with hounds, the effects of this ban for both wildlife and rural communities two decades later, and the future of hunting with hounds in the UK.
