What the stag had endured up to this point was the horrific cruelty of stag hunting.
Despite being made illegal with the hunting ban, stag hunts continue by using loopholes in the act to claim that what they are doing is legal. Yet still, hunted stags continue to suffer and be killed, and the process of the hunt before the ban was exactly the same as what happened on April 20th. The only difference to pre-ban hunting being the use of two hounds at a time, as the “Research and Observation” or “Flushing To Guns” loopholes stipulate.
