Committee member of the North Lonsdale Foxhounds Alison Bolt was among the thousands of women who took part in the Families for Hunting women's vigil on Parliament Square as MPs debated the bill on Monday.
Mrs Bolt, who along with other protesting pro-hunters sent a pair of her knickers to 10 Downing Street, said she was "furious".
"I don't think we stand a chance. We're fighting prejudice," she said, sobbing.

Drug addicts held a shopkeeper, a young woman and her baby hostage for half an hour as they tried to steal drinks and sweets from a Camden Town corner shop. The woman said: "I called the police twice. They said they couldn't send anyone because of a major incident in Camden Town. They couldn't send one officer, they said, because it wouldn't have been safe."
