Only a quarter of people in Northern Ireland know that hunting wild animals with dogs is still legal here. Foxes, deer, and hare are chased down by hounds and killed just for ‘sport’.
So it must come as a surprise to them to know that there is currently a consultation underway on whether it’s a good idea for Northern Ireland to follow the rest of the UK in banning this cruel sport. The consultation is a really important part of the process, so we’re urging all our supporters in NI to take part, share it with friends, family and on social media, and to sign up for our updates on this vital campaign.
