Dear Secretary of State (Steve Reed MP)

It has been two decades since the Hunting Act 2004 was passed in England and Wales, which banned the hunting of wild mammals with dogs. However, in that time, it has become clear that the Act has failed to put an end to hunting.

Hunts continue to operate across the country, frequently breaking the law by chasing and killing wild mammals under the guise of "trail hunting" or using loopholes and exemptions to evade prosecution. It is time for change. It is time for the Hunting of Mammals Act: a proper ban on hunting.

The Hunting of Mammals Act would replace the Hunting Act 2004.

And if passed, this new law would provide a comprehensive ban on all forms of hunting with hounds, with no exemptions or loopholes that can be exploited by hunts. It would provide clarity and simplicity, making it easier for the police and the courts to prosecute those who break the law.

It would criminalise the smokescreen that is ‘trail hunting’ and would spell the end of fox hunting, deer hunting, hare coursing and hare hunting in England and Wales.

We urge the public to support the new act by signing our petition, and we call on the Labour government to take action to bring an end to the hunting of wild mammals with dogs once and for all.
