An anti-hunting charity has been accused of bullying in a “campaign of harassment” against auction sites used to raise money for hunts and hounds.
The League Against Cruel Sports has been reported to the Charity Commission for “demanding with menaces” that a fundraising platform cut ties with legally registered hunts. The regulator was assessing the complaint, a spokesman said.
After a previous campaign against hunt sponsors, the commission “reminded” the League of its responsibilities as a charity.
