Men face trial after denying hunting with dogs

Two men will go on trial next year accused of illegally hunting an animal with dogs.

Thomas Wright, 32, of Main Street, Etton, and Christopher Richardson, 76, of Bridlington Road, Brandesburton, appeared before Hull Magistrates' Court on 23 September.

Both entered not guilty pleas and will face a trial on 9 June 2025 at Beverley Magistrates' Court.

The Hunting Act 2004 bans certain forms of hunting wild mammals with dogs.
