Megan McCubbinYouth Ambassador
I am delighted to say that I am the new Youth Ambassador for the League Against Cruel Sports. I am truly honoured to join such a dedicated team and to help tackle some of the worst acts of wildlife cruelty in the UK. However, it is also a shame that such a position must exist in the modern day. I am a zoologist and wildlife TV presenter with a particular interest in animal welfare and the wildlife trade.
I will work tirelessly with the League to campaign for tighter legislations to better protect species from cruelty. It’s an issue so close to my heart and I am a firm believer that we must understand and love something first before we begin protecting it. The passion and determination at the League is unwavering and that’s why I’m truly honoured to be their new Youth Ambassador.

Vanessa-MaeAmbassador
We are delighted to welcome Vanessa-Mae as Ambassador for the League. As a world famous violinist, Olympian and brave animal welfare campaigner, Vanessa-Mae brings her strong and credible voice to our team. Vanessa-Mae says:
“There is nothing sporting about watching innocent animals run or fight for their lives. As Ambassador for the League Against Cruel Sports, I urge everybody to help us support an end to the use of animals in cruel sports.”
