THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE FOR CONSULTATION TO BAN TRAIL HUNTING SAY PROTECT THE WILD

Forwarded this email? Subscribe here for more This is your LAST CHANCE to fill in the consultation to ban trail hunting ELIZA EGRET JUN 17 READ IN APP The government’s public consultation on plans to ban trail hunting closes tomorrow! This is a rare opportunity to push for real change: not tweaks, not loopholes, but a clear, enforceable ban on hunting with hounds. We’ve reviewed the consultation in detail and set out how we recommend supporters respond. Click on the button below and send your personal response directly to Defra in under 30 seconds. Respond to Defra Trail hunting is a practice widely used as a cover for illegal fox hunting and the killing of other mammals. It’s been more than two decades since the Hunting Act came into force, and the majority of hunts have largely ignored the law, continuing to hunt wildlife as before. On the rare occasions police have investigated, hunts have claimed to be following a pre-laid scent trail, known as trail hunting, and that any kills were purely accidental. Labour has promised to finally close the loopholes that allow trail hunting to mask as a legal sport. This is the party’s chance to consign the hunting of wildlife to the history books. The hunting lobby will undoubtedly be doing everything in its power to influence Labour and carve out loopholes, allowing them to terrorise and kill wildlife with impunity. So we need to make our voices loudly heard for the animals that can't speak for themselves. Fill in the government consultation now. Every response counts.

FROM BIRDLIFE INTERNATIONAL

View email in browser Hi John, Some of the most important work we do is also the hardest to see. It happens in meeting rooms with diplomatic conversations, shared evidence, and years of persistence. For birds that see no borders as they cross continents and oceans, this matters because no single country can protect them alone. It is thanks to supporters like you, that I can write to say migratory birds are now better protected than they were even just months ago. In March 2026, governments from around the world met in Brazil for CMS COP15, a UN global summit focused entirely on migratory species. With strong leadership and expertise from my colleagues and our Partners, the meeting delivered major, concrete breakthroughs – securing protections for birds like the Snowy Owl, Steppe Eagle, Flesh-footed Shearwater, and the Antipodean Albatross. Some of the inspiring people behind these breakthroughs are photographed above, but positive change doesn’t happen overnight. They are the result of years of collaboration, and only possible because of our global community of supporters. The challenge is enormous, but we can meet it by taking conservation action on a global scale, thanks to your support. Warmest wishes, Mairianne Walker | BirdLife International Supporter Team P.S You can support work like this by giving today and having your donation matched up to $20,000 thanks to a generous donor.

FROM WILD JUSTICE — THE CONSULTATION ON TRAIL HUNTING ENDS VERY SOON

Good morning, Today’s newsletter includes an update on our judicial review on Natural England’s decision to licence supplementary Badger culls in 2024, an update on a development threatening the largest colony of Great Crested Newts in London and Wild Justice featuring on Radio 4. We’d also like to remind you that the consultation on banning trail hunting closes tomorrow – details below. Please do respond, if you haven’t already. Holding Natural England accountable – the Badger cull licence judicial review: Yesterday we attended the Royal Courts of Justice in London for the conclusion of our judicial review which we started back in 2024 with our friends the Badger Trust. We argued that Natural England acted unlawfully by approving 26 supplementary licences to cull Badgers despite advice from its own Director of Science, who concluded that there was “...no justification for authorising further supplementary Badger culls in 2024 for the purpose of preventing the spread of disease and recommend[ed] against doing so”. You can read more about the background of Badger culling, and our stance on it, on our website here. Mr Justice Fordham presided over our case yesterday, and has reserved judgement, which we’ll hear in due course. As soon as we do, we’ll share that with you. We would like to thank our brilliant legal team who helped get this case to court. Thank you Ricky Gama, Carol Day, Julia Eriksen and Madeeha Akhtar at Leigh Day, David Wolfe KC at Matrix Chambers and Barney McCay at Landmark Chambers. We’re extremely fortunate to have such exceptional and committed environmental lawyers representing our cases and helping us challenge these injustices. Thank you so much to all of you who supported our crowdfunder on this case, which allowed us to take this right through to a court hearing. It’s been nearly two years since this case began. Since then, the political landscape has changed but the risk to Badgers has not, and so it’s important that political decisions continue to be scrutinised. Hurry! The clock is ticking on the consultation on so-called trail hunting: The government consultation on how best to implement a trail hunting ban in England and Wales comes to a close on Thursday at 11.59PM on 18 June. If you haven’t managed to respond yet, we’d be really grateful if you could. The League Against Cruel Sports has produced some helpful guidance, which can help guide you through the whole process. You can find it by clicking here. If you’ve already responded – thank you! Trail hunting was introduced as a supposed legal alternative to Fox hunting after Fox hunting was banned in 2004 under the Hunting Act. In trail hunting, hounds are meant to follow an artificial scent trail which has been laid by a human, rather than pursuing a live animal. However, many animal welfare organisations, including the Hunt Saboteurs Association and others, have gathered substantial evidence showing that for years trail hunting has been used by many as a smokescreen to illegally hunt Foxes. This consultation is an opportunity to strengthen legislation around Hunting and put a stop to these wildlife crimes. Save our Newts campaign update: Last month we asked you to support the ‘Save the Newts’ campaign to protect London’s largest breeding colony of Great Crested Newts at Glebelands Nature Reserve which was under threat from development. If you managed to sign the petition before the deadline, thank you. The application was considered by the Mayor of London on 27 May. Despite strong public support from local residents, conservation organisations and supporters, and a petition of over 7,000 signatures, the Greater London Authority chose to approve the Great North Leisure Park development. This case is a stark example of the weakening of wildlife protection legislation and has wider implications for nature conservation in the UK. The new Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 means that real habitat protection can be replaced with a ‘cash-to-trash’ levy for developers., With housing pressures rising, putting important habitats and species of high conservation concern at greater risk, the approval of this development sets a dangerous precedent. Online Talk: Talking Raptor Persecution with Dr Ruth Tingay: In a talk given to Yorkshire-based charity, Friends of the Dales, Wild Justice Co-Director Ruth Tingay gave an insight into raptor persecution and the impact that these crimes have had on Scottish legislation The Friends of the Dales is an independent campaign charity dedicated to protecting the landscape, biodiversity and cultural heritage of the Yorkshire Dales. In recent years it’s focused much of its efforts on challenging issues that face the area, including shining a light on raptor persecution with their ‘Eyes on the Skies’ campaign to raise awareness about birds of prey and their persecution and to seek change from government to put a stop to these crimes. The group is running a petition to help stop the criminal killing of Birds of Prey, which you can sign here. You can watch Ruth’s talk, ‘How Illegal Raptor Persecution led to Grouse Moor Licensing in Scotland’, by following this link. Wild Justice on Radio 4: And last but not least, this morning Wild Justice Co-Director Chris Packham was featured on BBC Radio 4’s Farming Today, talking about the impact Pheasant shooting has on wildlife and the environment. Listen to it, at about 4 minutes and 15 seconds in, here. As ever, thank you for all your support! Wild Justice (CEO: Bob Elliot. Directors: Chris Packham and Ruth Tingay).

FROM THE HUNT SABOTEURS - BAN THE SICK HEART OF KILLING FOR FUN AND CELEBRATING IT

View this email in your browser Hi, Supporter Trail Hunting Consultation – Please Do It Today! Our twelve-week countdown is now almost over - the government’s trail hunting closes at 11.59pm tomorrow night – 18th June 2026. If you have not done so already, please make sure your voice is heard in the next twenty-four hours. We will not get this chance again. Handshakes all round as Stowe Beagles rip their victim to pieces. And even as the consultation draws to a close, the hunters continue to incriminate themselves. Just last week we reported on the conviction of Stowe School Beagles huntsman Philip Kennedy. The harrowing video evidence shows a hare being chased and killed by the hounds – but the most sickening aspect is the way that hunters young and old shake hands as the hare is torn to pieces. This is routine cruelty, committed by people who were not even born when the Hunting Act became law 21 years ago. Could there possibly be more compelling evidence of the need to urgently and robustly strengthen the Hunting Act? The Tiverton Staghounds make a mockery of the ‘Research and Observation’ exemption. Over the past twelve weeks we have highlighted the way that the hunters use, abuse and ignore the Hunting Act. We have shown how the West Country staghound packs torment deer for hours under the guise of the ‘Research and Observation’ exemption in the Hunting Act. We have highlighted the cynical exploitation of the ‘Falconry’ exemption, where hunters pretend to flush foxes to a bird of prey. We have highlighted how hunts bury foxes alive so that they can be hunted later in the day. Buried alive by the Cotswold Hunt. We also reported on Chris Packham’s angry but inspiring words during the successful rally outside the Houses of Parliament in May: “I’m now 65-years old, and I cannot believe that I’m standing here, and this is still going on. We elected a government with a massive majority and a manifesto pledge to stop fox hunting. But two years into that term of government, and nothing has happened.” Chris Packham flies the flag! This is it – your very last chance to add your voice to the thousands of HSA supporters who want to really end hunting with hounds. Thank you!

FROM PLANTLIFE - IT DOES MATTER WHAT WE SHOULD SEE ON OUR BANKNOTES

Have you seen the new designs? View this email in your browser Donate Join Shop Hi John, Have you seen the shortlisted wildlife set to appear on future banknotes? They're all over the news this morning, and wildlife is in for a win with 18 animals and insects featured - but something is missing. Plants and fungi are the foundation of all life on Earth, but yet again, they've been overlooked. We're so excited to see British wildlife being given the chance to appear on our banknotes. But out of 18 beautiful designs, not one is based on one of our wonderful wild plants or fantastic fungi. Explore our native wild plants and fungi Why Does it Matter What is on Our Banknotes? The Bank of England said the “shortlisted animals demonstrate the rich variety of wildlife we have to celebrate in the UK”. But that leaves out a vital part of our environment, history and heritage. Shortlisted designs feature the Common Frog, Marsh Fritillary Butterfly, Grey Seal and the Red Fox. This selection, while amazing, risks a huge part of our story being forgotten. Plants and fungi are vital for our farmers, they're the cornerstone of our modern medicine, they're what we take pride in in our gardens and green spaces. They're a part of us in every way possible from what we eat to how we breathe. They're also vital for our animals and insects, including those featured in the new designs. Without Devil's-bit Scabious we wouldn't have the Marsh Fritillary Butterfly, Puffins and plants like Sea Thrift go hand-in-hand and without long grasslands, Barn Owls couldn't survive. We need the full picture. And, wouldn’t a £20 Devil's-bit Scabious or £10 Sea Thrift look brilliant? The Bank of England has said the central images will be complemented with additional elements from wildlife and nature. But we don't think plants and fungi should be an afterthought – just a background to the ‘central’ images. To tell the full story of the UK's natural heritage, we need a more complete and representative picture of nature. Which is your favourite species? We know our amazing supporters will agree that plants and fungi are just as big a part of our picture as animals. We hope to see this reflected with the new banknotes. Thank you.
