Rejected petition Ban Fox Hunting for Good!
Rejected on
Fox Hunting was banned in 2004. Theresa May has said that she has "always been in favour of fox hunting", while Michael Gove has so far refused to close loopholes in the law.
Illegal fox hunts are still taking place without proper punishment.
There has been little resource for the National Wildlife Crime Unit.As a result, convictions have fallen to historic lows – despite hunting groups claiming that the practice is as popular as ever.
Send a clear message to the Government. It is time to truly end this barbaric blood sport for good!
