Shooting hares in England to be banned for most of the year
Exclusive: Ministers also expected to announce trail-hunting ban in sweeping changes to animal welfare law
Shooting hares in England will be banned for most of the year as part of sweeping changes to animal welfare law.
At the moment, it is legal to shoot the animals during their breeding season, with pregnant hares left to bleed out, and leverets – their young – often orphaned as a result. Continue reading...

A reminder: books are very easy to wrap (and you can, controversially, sneak a wee taste as you wrap and nobody will know - unlike taking a bit of their cheese).
What a brilliant book about two artists I knew nothing about. These two men felt so real to me and I’m so pleased that Damian Barr brought them to life again and told their story.
