As a coalition of leading animal welfare charities representing millions of
members, we believe it’s time for change.
The ban on hunting with dogs is weak and is failing to protect animals from cruelty. Animals deserve better. Until those in power act, it’s clear that animal welfare will not be treated with the seriousness the public expect.
Together, we are calling for the law to be strengthened to stop hunting with dogs for good.
Time for change: no more fox hunting
Fox hunting, deer hunting, and hare hunting still take place in the UK. These cruel activities have been banned in England and Wales for nearly 20 years, but the law is failing us all. Too many animals are suffering, local communities are being abused and the public is being misled, as too many hunts are getting away with it. It’s time for change. Those in government must improve the law and make England and Wales a hunting free zone.
Please join us, the undersigned, to call upon this government to strengthen and improve the Hunting Act 2004 by banning trail hunting, removing many exemptions which enable hunting, and introducing custodial sentences for those who break the law. Only this will protect animals and the rural communities blighted by hunts.
