Culling or trophy hunting? Woburn's excuse doesn't add up

Woburn Abbey Deer Park should be ‘asked tough questions’ surrounding the killing of their deer by trophy hunters, claims animal welfare charity the League Against Cruel Sports.

A licence to kill? Hunting on National Trust land

The last thing our precious wildlife needs is another season living in danger of being chased and killed by hunts. Yet the National Trust continues to put wildlife at risk as it licences hunting for another year and fails to take members’ concerns seriously enough.

Burnt, drained and persecuted: Yorkshire Water grouse moors exposed

Widespread environmental damage has been inflicted on internationally-important moorland leased by Yorkshire Water for grouse shooting, with campaigners warning this is set to increase with the burning season now getting underway.

3rd November - Leafletting in Worcester on the truth of trail hunting

With hunting season starting on the 1st November and many hunts hunting in Worcestershire, the League Against Cruel Sports supporter group are leafletting in Worcester city centre on the truth of trail hunting.

Working for the League

As a team, we share the same passion – to stop animal cruelty in the name of sport. We are a tight knit team and we work hard within a fun, relaxed environment. We also offer something many employers don’t – an office full of friendly dogs!

Fox Hunting

Hunting was banned in England and Wales in 2004, but the law has never been properly enforced, and attempts to weaken or repeal it continue. The hunting law in Scotland is weak, and hunting is still legal in Northern Ireland.

Hunting on National Trust Land

Many people have been shocked to learn that illegal hunting is taking place on National Trust land.

Foxes

Foxes use 28 different vocal calls to communicate, and often form a pair that lasts for life. Foxes wag their tails to greet family members - just like dogs. More fox facts here!

Why The League

Hurting and killing animals for ‘sport’ is one of the principal causes of animal cruelty in the UK: tens of millions suffer and die each year for ‘leisure’ activities. We’re here to protect those animals.

Bullfighting

Bullfighting is perhaps the most well known spectator “sport” involving the killing of animals for entertainment. It has already been banned in most countries, but each year tens of thousands of bulls are maimed, tortured and killed for entertainment in Spain, Portugal, France, Colombia, Mexico, USA, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru.

Strengthen the Hunting Act

The Hunting Act 2004 is the law which bans chasing wild mammals with dogs in England and Wales – this basically means that fox hunting, deer hunting, hare hunting, hare coursing and mink hunting are all illegal, as they all are cruel sports based on dogs chasing wild mammals.

Greyhound Racing

The hidden side of greyhound racing includes dogs kept for long periods in lonely kennels, painful injuries from racing and training, illness and neglect. Shockingly, thousands of surplus dogs die or disappear every year. The League believes dogs should not suffer or die for entertainment or for the profit of the dog racing industry.

Dog Fighting

Dog fighting as a ‘sport’ was banned in 1835, as even then it was considered barbaric. But this horrific form of dog abuse continues.
It's time to take a stand against dog fighting.
