Petition Ban all Fox and Stag Hunting with Dogs - including Trail Hunting
The Government said they'd ban hunting, we think now is the time to stand by this promise & ban all forms of hunting with dogs. We think allowing trail hunting hasn’t worked to prevent live animals being harmed and killed by hunts.
More details
We don't believe hunts will ever switch to trail hunting. There are concerns that current hunts are attended by terrier men, badger setts are blocked and hounds aren't kept under control. There are reports of agricultural quad bikes being used illegally on public roads and hunt monitors assaulted. We believe these anti-social behaviours occur regularly, often with impunity.
We think hunting with dogs needs to be banned with no loopholes.

Trail hunting: debate in Parliament
On 1 April, MPs debated trail hunting in Parliament.
This was an adjournment debate led by Perran Moon MP. Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Minister, Daniel Zeichner MP, responded on behalf of the Government.
Explainer
Adjournment debates give an MP the opportunity to debate a topic they choose, and receive a response from the Government.
They are a way to:
- raise awareness of an issue
- seek to influence government policy
- put the views of the MP and the Government on record.
They do not involve a vote on a particular action or decision.
The debates take place at the end of each day in the House of Commons. They last for 30 minutes.
