The Animal Abuser lobby is strong in the UK, despite the majority being against tormenting wildlife for pleasure.

I expect the Government will fold as they always do with the Landed Gentry. They'd watch us starve to death for a cause, but inconvenience the Feudal Lords and there will be hell to pay .

#Petition #UK #FoxHunting #TrailHunting

Despite a supposed ban on fox hunting in 2005, evidence shows widespread foxhunting still goes on, despite claims it's just a scent trail being followed

Residents, animal sanctuaries, businesses & even funerals have been disturbed by hounds tearing through their land & pets have been killed by these hunts

When communities try to protest they face intimidation

Please consider signing this petition to ban trail hunting for good

Sign the petition: ban trail hunting for good

🚨The Gov could FINALLY be about to end fox hunting for good, by banning trail hunting. But the likes of Farage are criticising the ban. We need to drown them out: sign the petition now to back the ban and tell the Government to hold firm:

These "critics" are Animal Abusers and something is finally being done about them in a rare Labour win.

Puppy farming and trail hunting to be banned - but critics warn of 'war on the countryside'

Ministers are introducing a series of new measures to better protect pets and wild animals - but critics warn Labour "simply don't care about rural Britain".

Very pleased to see that the government is looking at banning trail hunting.

If there are legitimate devotees of the sport of trail hunting, then tough. They've had 20 years to clean up their act and stop it being used as a cover for illegal fox hunting.

They haven't. Whether that's because they can't or just don't want to, I don't know, but it's irrelevant anyway. Either way, trail hunting still leads to animal cruelty.

Trail hunting to be banned as part of new animal welfare strategy

The government says the practice is being used as a "smokescreen" for the hunting of wild animals.
