This morning I joined @BBCNorfolk to talk about why trail hunting should be banned, following on from a piece about clean boot hunting. The show is here: https://t.co/PsT5BYVd5d

* What 's your opinion?
Data compiled by @LeagueACS shows almost every hunt hosting a "demonstration" of trail hunting today has bene in trouble for activity related to illegal hunting or causing havoc in their communities. Please share https://t.co/PxVgY4on97
Today, hunts will meet to showcase trail hunting to the public as a well-regulated and properly managed 'sport’.
We know this isn't true. Trail hunting is just a smokescreen for old-fashioned illegal hunting.

The Telegraph has today confirmed that licences for hunting on MOD land have been suspended "indefinitely" while under ministerial review. It's not a total victory, but it's a step in the right direction ahead of a full ban and a strengthened #HuntingAct@LeagueACS#TimeForChange
That no new trail hunting licences are being issued on MoD land is something @LeagueACS has long campaigned loudly for and we would welcome confirmation that no such activity will ever take place on Government land again, as per @UKLabour’s manifesto pledge.
It's inspiring to see so many people coming together yesterday to demand an end to the barbaric slaughter of persecuted animals.
A special mention to @ChrisGPackham, @DomDyer70, @FishVetMj, and @ProtectTheWild_ for their unwavering commitment and hard work on this cause.
The new Labour government promised to protect our wildlife, but so far they've been silent on banning hunting on Ministry of Defence land.
Write to the Secretary of State for Defence and demand an end to this cruel and outdated practice: https://t.co/HlFpAhB84p

Oasis had just released What's the Story (Morning Glory) when Jim Barrington left the League in 1995 for the Champagne supernova of pro-hunting, so some might say he should stop crying his heart out about it. His words cast no shadow on @LeagueACS and our work
In this article from 'My Countryside' magazine, former Executive Director of the League Against Cruel Sports, Jim Barrington, takes a look at the problematic history of this anti-hunting group.

As cubbing season starts, fox cubs are in grave danger of being hunted down by packs of hounds. Despite the ban, this cruel practice remains a reality.

You couldn’t make it up . . . and you don’t have to . Yep , a bunch of fox hunters think they warrant designation as an ethnic minority group under the Equality Act 2010 . Absolutely desperate barrel scraping as their end nears . . . @HuntSabs@ProtectTheWild_@LeagueACS
Low conviction rates don't mean crimes aren't happening - and if hunters were really hunting legally then we wouldn't be clamouring for a change to the law. This is on them. #TimeForChange
Labour said they'd ban 'trail' hunting - so they shouldn't be renewing licences to hunt on MOD land, should they? Our piece in today's @thetimes is both online and on page 11 in print/on the app #TimeForChange#EndHunting@LeagueACS

Labour’s shadow secretary of state Steve Reed recently appeared on BBC Farming Today and spoke about closing the loopholes in the Hunting Act that allow illegal hunting to continue.
