HELP END FOX HUNTING FOR GOOD

Most people would be forgiven for thinking that hunting is already banned. But the hunting season is underway right now and foxes are dying. 191 fox hunts will ride out nearly 10,700 times this year.

That can’t be right. That can’t be the type of country we are trying to be in the twenty-first century.

And that is why the Hunting Act needs to be strengthened.

This election is a real opportunity to show unity where there has been division; to commit to a vision of Britain that is a kinder place for all of us to live. A country where there is an understanding of the importance of protecting the environment around us and all the wildlife that shares our land.

Please contact your election candidates today and help get more anti-hunt MPs into parliament.

Take Action
It is time political parties went further, not only to secure the Hunting Act but to strengthen it; to ensure there can be no excuses for harming wild animals for ‘sport’.

I am calling on all parties to include this pledge in their manifestos, to allow themselves to be judged on their compassion and their commitment to our land and our wildlife, as well as their willingness to ensure all those who seek to circumvent these rules are appropriately punished.

We know from polling commissioned by the League Against Cruel Sports that 85 per cent of the public think fox hunting should remain illegal. We ask that all political parties commit to strengthening this law and reduce those 10,700 hunting days to zero.

Please contact your election candidates today and help end fox hunting for good.

Take Action
Yours sincerely,
Bill Oddie
