Badger Baiting and other blood sports
I'm surprised it happens still. Especially around where I live where most people seemed to be shocked at the fact that badgers are quite common - the village of 'Badgers Mount' not being a big enough give away to their presence.

Despite the highly controversial ban on fox hunting with hounds, which came into force in England and Wales in February, the law still allows hunting of certain other creatures.
And "loopholes" mean that even foxes could be legally killed in a hunt, if it is unintentional and by accident.
Hunters have run a fine-tooth comb through the wording of the Hunting Act, looking for the slightest bit of wriggle room.
The latest edition of the Hunting Handbook, issued by the Countryside Alliance and the Council of Hunting Associations is subtitled How to Keep Hunting.

More foxes are being killed and more people are hunting with hounds than before the hunting ban, Countryside Alliance chairman Kate Hoey has said.
