Government hunting consultation

The government has opened a consultation on so-called trail hunting, which everybody is invited to participate in. 

The League has been urging the government to go further than just asking people about trail hunting, and it appears they have listened and are asking people how the law can better protect wild animals from illegal hunting.  

We have the opportunity to end hunting
