The Act stops people from setting more than one dog on certain species of wild animals including rats.
The Hunting Act was introduced in 2005 to stop the ancient blood sport of hunting foxes with hounds.
However the latest figures show that just one person convicted under the legislation last year was registered with a hunt.
Many of the 36 convictions were to punish people in rural or semi-rural areas setting more than one dog on rats. Poachers were also convicted under the Act for using dogs to bring down deer.
You are allowed to kill the rats for your food as delicates, but you can not run the dogs to kill the dogs, Confused!!!
