Last night, Jeremy Hunt was quoted by The Telegraph as saying he would initiate a free vote in Parliament to repeal The Hunting Act 2004 if he became Prime Minister.
At the League Against Cruel Sports we know the importance of compassion, as every day we defend animals from being persecuted in the name of ‘sport’. And we are not alone.
From polling we commissioned ahead of the last general election in 2017, 85% of respondents and 73% of Conservative voters want to see hunting remain illegal. We call on Jeremy Hunt to listen. We have invited him to our offices, which are in his constituency, to discuss the realities of this barbaric activity, insisting that he retracts his pledge to repeal the Hunting Act 2004.
Fox hunting is a brutal activity in which hounds tear apart the foxes in the name of ‘sport’ – this cruelty should have no place in a modern compassionate society.
We urge our supporters to help keep the ban; making our voice stronger by doing any or all the following today:
Write to your local MP to express your horror at the suggestion of the Hunting Act 2004 being repealed
Write to your local paper
Sign our petition
