For attention of Defence Infrastructure Organisation and John Healey, Secretary of State for Defence

Following the leaked Hunting Office webinars which proved that 'trail hunting' was nothing more than a smokescreen for illegal fox hunting most major landowners refuse to allow hunts on their land.

Yet several years later the Ministry of Defence is standing alone in still supporting illegal fox hunting on the land they manage, including on Salisbury Plain one of Europe's most important grasslands and covered by multiple SSSis and SACs.

Monitors and sab groups routinely witness hunts breaking the law by hunting illegally on MoD land. There is supporting video evidence widely available. The vast majority of the public (who fund the MoD through taxation) do not support hunting and want to see it permanently banned.

The Labour government has pledged to ban so-called 'trail hunting' and I am calling on you now to withdraw support from hunts and ensure that so-called 'trail hunting' licences are no longer given to hunts wishing to chase and kill wildlife on MoD land.
