Why grouse shooting is bad for the Scottish countryside

Problems of social justice and animal welfare trump any number of positives about grouse shooting says Robbie Marsland, our Director for the League Against Cruel Sports Scotland.

Stronger together, united we march

Recently, wonderful volunteers from our Bristol Supporter Group joined the Strengthen the Ban march to unite against animal cruelty in the name of 'sport' and lend a voice to the voiceless. With the overarching goal being to #StrengthenTheBan, read about how the march went all about the march here and how you can get involved in the future.

United to End Horse Deaths

The reality of horse racing is a brutal one. Many horses die as a result of their injuries. Read the latest blog from our Regional Campaign Manager, Emily Lawrence, who teamed up with the League Gloucestershire group and other local activists to campaign against the Cheltenham Festival.

13th April - Birmingham March for the Survival of Wildlife

We will be raising awareness that trophy hunting is also going on in the UK at this march in Birmingham. Emily Lawrence, Regional Campaign Manager at the League will be speaking.

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 across the world.

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.
