This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Trail hunting should not be exempt from the no more than 6 people gathering.
Trail hunting is not a sport as they are claiming to be and should not be gathering in numbers over 6 people. A sport is between opposing sides where both sides are in agreement to the sport.
More details
Trail hunting where foxes are "accidentally" killed should not be allowed to continue. If they are trail hunting why are hounds running over railway lines and main roads and being killed? This is just an excuse to do what they really are doing and that is to kill foxes. So why is this allowed to continue with the no more than 6 people gathering. I repeat this IS NOT A SPORT!
