Great work by the League Against Cruel Sports. @uklabourparty.bsky.social it's time for a full and effective ban on this bloodthirsty 'sport' - wildlife needs protection, not persecution under the guise of tradition.
Today we delivered a 104,142-signature petition to 10 Downing Street, demanding stronger fox hunting laws and an end to the loopholes that allow illegal hunting to continue.
