Mixed bag for animal welfare in manifestos

While our Vinny the Fox has been getting on with his campaign, so have the political parties. The last week has seen manifestos released by the Labour, Liberal Democrat, and Conservative parties. We give our view on their pledges.

Hunting Act has ‘helped prevent cruelty to over 100,000 animals’

As a free vote to repeal the Hunting Act is included in the Conservative manifesto, the League releases new figures estimating that the Hunting Act has helped over 100,000 animals.

Vinny the Fox Cub enters election for a ‘cruelty free future’

Seven week old fox cub Vinny has launched an audacious election campaign to encourage political candidates to join him in calling for a ‘cruelty free future’.

Mass coalition unites for animals

21 leading animal welfare charities and campaign groups have written to all the party leaders in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, urging them to maintain the UK’s animal protection laws amid fears some of them may be scrapped after the election.

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.

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.

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!

Fox hunters found guilty after being filmed by birdwatchers

Three members of the Nottinghamshire based Grove and Rufford Hunt have been found guilty of illegal hunting at Mansfield Magistrates Court.

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.
