A young mum and her family were left ‘horrified’ after a pack of hounds tore apart a fox in their back garden.
Daisy, who would not give her surname, told of how her yard in Hingham, Norfolk, was left covered in blood and entrails after the terrifying encounter on Monday.
The 29-year-old mum-of-two said: ‘I was really distressed, not just about the fox being killed but of people thinking they have a God-given right to enter our home.
‘It’s pretty disgusting really, I don’t know how people get enjoyment out of an innocent animal being ripped to shreds by 30-odd dogs – they can’t be right in their heads.
‘In the video, you can hear the frenzy of those dogs, there’s no way the huntsmen didn’t know they were on my patio.
‘They didn’t want to do anything about it until the fox had been killed.’
