Our friends at the League Against Cruel Sports organised this rally, to highlight the fact that animals such as foxes, hares and deer are still being hunted every week in the British countryside, despite the ban, and called for the public to voice their opinion as part of the government consultation, regarding banning trail hunting and closing any loopholes in the current Hunting Act 2004.
This government consultation now has less than 6 weeks remaining for submissions.
Tears, cheers and creative costumes
Animal advocate celebrities; Chris Packham, Megan McCubin and Peter Egan all gave powerful speeches with their own stories and experiences relating to the hunting of wild animals.
The rally was attended by many grassroots groups, activists and animal rights organisations attended the rally such as Animal Aid, Protect the Wild, Hunt Saboteurs Association and the Badger Trust.
Our colleagues at the League Against Cruel Sports have put together excellent advice on responding to the government’s Consultation. Ideally, you’ll answer the questions using your own words, and the League has provided suggestions to help you do so. But, if you are really short of time, you can use their pre-written response button.
