What's Wrong With Hunting?
The League does not accept that hunting is a necessary form of predator or population control, and we believe it is wrong that wild animals are subjected to terror and pain
for the sake of so-called 'sport'. The League is joined by 75% of the British public in not wishing to see a return to this cruel pastime.
Read the League's rebuttals to common hunting arguments.
Although the Hunting Act 2004 outlaws the hunting of several species of wild mammal with a pack of hounds, some hunts won't comply with the law, while many claim that they are trail hunting or have 'accidentally' pursued live animals. Read about hunting before the ban.
It isn't just wildlife that is affected by hunting, 'hunt havoc' occurs when hunts lose control of their hounds. Such incidents have lead to road traffic accidents, trespassing, and savage attacks on livestock and pets.
