Right now, roe deer are being cruelly hunted with dogs and killed for ‘sport’. Red deer are also targeted for much of the year. Chased to exhaustion before being ruthlessly killed. Too often forgotten by lawmakers and failed by weak legislation. 

The government has announced that it will launch a consultation on banning trail hunting later this year. This is welcome and must happen soon.

But hunts targeting deer often pretend to be ‘rescuing’ animals from suffering or conducting ‘scientific research’, exploiting loopholes in the law to carry on their cruel sport.

Any new legislation must also protect them by removing these exemptions and introducing prison sentences as a proper deterrent to lawbreakers.

Join us in calling on the government to act quickly to protect all of the animals cruelly hunted with dogs – write to your MP today.

Together we can make sure that the deer who are mercilessly hunted with dogs can no longer be forgotten.
