Hunting with hounds was banned in England and Wales in
February 2005. However, many hunts have continued to operate since
then. Many exploit loopholes in the law while other blatantly defy the
ban. The police are not interested in enforcing the law.
We are a group of animal lovers who want to see hunted animals protected. We do this in two ways. We attend the hunt and gather video and photographic evidence of hunts breaking the law. Secondly, when possible, we use non-violent tactics to intervene to save animals from death.
We regularly attend hunts in the East Midlands and surrounding areas. We need YOUR help! We need new members to come out with us. We also need people to raise funds, run information stalls and donate money to keep the group going.
Please get in touch if you wish to get involved.
