Enough is enough – let’s end hunting now
Dear John,
It’s time to say ‘enough is enough’.
Animals are being killed, people are being intimidated, land is being trespassed upon and the law is being broken. Despite the ban fox hunts, hare hunts and stag hunts in England and Wales have been hiding behind the smokescreen of ‘trail’ hunting to ride roughshod over the law for over 15 years.
How much more will it take for the government to strengthen the Hunting Act and end this barbarity for good?
We’ve launched a new nationwide campaign - ‘enough is enough’. From today we need you to contact your MPs to call on Defra to strengthen the ban.
But that’s just the start. This campaign will feature panel events up and down the country to bring key voices together to discuss the issues surrounding hunting, and what can be done to stop it. Following these debates, we will work with you to launch local campaigns to tackle hunting where you are. It’s time to amplify the voices of those who want to say ‘enough is enough’ to those who would seek to do wildlife harm.
This is the beginning of the end for hunting with dogs.
You are amazing and have already made a huge difference – some of the UK’s largest landowners such as the National Trust and Natural Resources Wales have already banned hunting thanks to your efforts, and the League will continue to work to reduce the impact of hunting on wildlife.
We have already held a successful pilot event in Plymouth, the next being in Cheltenham in February. Other events are in the planning stage, so expect to see further announcements on this soon.
Right now trail hunting is actively licensed on government land, including areas owned by the Ministry of Defence.
Please contact your MP and tell them enough is enough. Ask that they call on DEFRA for an immediate end to trail hunting on government land and to commit to strengthening the Hunting Act to end the cruelty of hunting for good.
