Ummm, so you can replace irreplaceable habitats - how? Isn't that a contradiction in terms!

Unbelievably, yes. Even though hunting with dogs is banned, 68 hare hunts are still active across England and Wales. They chase hares with packs of hounds and exploit loopholes in the law to get away with it.
