House of Lords Rejects Fox Hunting Ban

The House of Lords voted 317 to 68 to reject the portion of a recent bill that outlawed fox hunting in the United Kingdom. The Peers also voted 249 to 108 to reject a proposal to continue fox hunting but only with heavy regulation. Instead, the Lords voted to allow fox hunting to continue in its current, self-regulated form.
