Chris Packham filmed a West Country fox hunt to challenge what he describes as a "shocking lack of accountability" for those who take part in the sport.

The TV wildlife presenter followed the Blackmore & Sparkford Vale Hunt with a camera crew through the Dorset countryside this afternoon (Saturday, February 7).

In a five-hour live stream on Facebook, Chris and his team traced the large group of hounds and horses using thermal tracking, at one point locating "15 hounds all focused on one little area in a wood".
