Pheasant shooting bloodbath begins....In terms of the number of animals persecuted and killed, no other #bloodsport in the country has such a devastating impact on animals as pheasant #shooting. @LeagueACS @ChrisGPackham @RuthJonesLabour @DefraGovUK

Springwell Bay is the first horse to lose its life at this year's #CheltenhamFestival after suffering a fatal injury in a fall at a fence.

We’re calling for a boycott of the festival & for an independent regulator that puts horse welfare first.

Since 2000, 76 horses have died at #CheltenhamFestival — at least one every year. This appalling record shows gambling profits come before horse welfare.

The League urges the public to stay away, refuse to bet & switch off ITV’s coverage.

Caged birds are crammed into tiny spaces, no bigger than an A4 sheet of paper, forced to lay egg after egg for the shooting industry.

Join @JoannaLumleyUK in demanding a ban on the use of cages for game birds & all other farmed animals.

It’s clear this is not trail hunting. The government must take action - NOW

The government must close the loopholes, properly ban hunting, and introduce real consequences for those who break the law.

Hounds from the Heythrop Hunt were caught chasing a terrified fox through Moors Wood in Steeple-Barton, Oxfordshire. But thanks to the quick thinking of Lynn, a member of @Sabsthree, this fox lived to see another day.

#Live from 10 Downing Street: animal welfare organisations stand together against hunting with dogs! 📢👥

Over 100,000 animal lovers across the UK have spoken: the Government must strengthen the Hunting Act 2004 and protect animals in our countryside❗️
Despite fox, hare and deer hunting being banned over twenty years ago, the law is failing animals, and too many are suffering and dying because of an outdated, cruel tradition. 💔🦊

Thank you for speaking up against this brutality. Together, we can make a difference for animals.
It’s #TimeForChange.

[Wildlife and Countryside Link @WCL_News]
