The 18th of February marked the 20th anniversary of the hunting act coming into force, and even after all this time hunts up and down the country are still continuing as if it never happened.

Hunts up and down the country, hunt with impunity never worried about getting caught. As when they do the punishments are minimal. It’s time the Hunting Act 2004 was amended so that we see an end to incidents like this.

Despite the atrocious weather, no doubt some hunts will still force their horses and hounds to go out in pursuit of wildlife tomorrow.
