- Abstract
The potential impact of fox-hunting ban in Britain is a contentious issue that has been explored by Baker et al.. They conclude that a suspension of lowland fox-hunting for nine months during 2001 made no difference to fox density in certain areas. We are not confident, however, that their analysis supports their conclusions - their study does not consider statistical power or account sufficiently for regional variation, and also uses an inappropriate statistic.
