Government hunting consultation

The government has announced it will open a consultation on so-called trail hunting, which the public will be invited to participate in. The League is urging the government to go further than just asking people about trail hunting: we are urging them to consult on how the law can and should be changed to ensure no wild mammal is killed by hunts and their hounds.
