Fox-hunting, also known as venery, is a controversial activity that involves hunting foxes with trained hounds. Those who support fox-hunting see it as a sport steeped in tradition, while opponents argue that it is cruel and unnecessary. Whatever your stance, it is worth noting that there are several alternative terms that can be used to describe this activity. These include fox chasing, fox hunting, foxing, and fox shooting - although the latter is not strictly accurate, as shooting foxes is not generally considered a form of fox-hunting. Whatever term you use, make sure you are clear on the context and any associated controversies.
