Closed petition Ban the shooting of dogs

Closed on

Following the recent media coverage showing hunt leaders shooting their hunt dogs at point blank range in the head and dumping them, including while still alive, I am appalled!

I want this to stop and demand that all dogs are either rehomed or humanely euthanised - in exceptional circumstances.

This barbaric killing of dogs needs to stop

I have an ex-hunt dog who escaped from a hunt four years ago! He lived on the streets for 16 weeks after leaving the hunt - abandoned and left to die by the ones he worked for!

I believe we can do more! These dogs ‘can’ be rehomed and should be given a chance ! And in the rare event they can’t they should at least be euthanised humanely and not shot in the most cruel and horrific way!
