Festival of Hunting 2023

Email your MP today - hunting should be banned not celebrated

Trail hunting has been exposed for what is really is - a sham and a smokescreen.

Incidents related to illegal hunting have been broadcast all over the media. 

  • ○ ITV - hunts dig out foxes to throw to hounds.
  • ○ Channel 4 News - a fox is rescued, found underground by Cirencester Illegal Hunt Watch at the Cotswold Hunt, double bagged no doubt to be thrown to hounds.
  • ○ Hunting statistics from the 2022-2023 hunting season released by the League in April shows that despite the ban there were nearly 1,000 incidents of fox hunts wreaking havoc in the countryside or involved in suspected illegal hunting. Hunting continues as it did before the hunting ban. This is only the tip of the iceberg!

To celebrate a pastime that results in the death of an animal is abhorrent.

Ask your MP to demand that Defra strengthens the Hunting Act 2004
