Friend,
Every year, countless innocent animals suffer horrific cruelty at the hands of those who engage in the illegal wildlife trade. Foxes, badgers, and hares are being sold as live bait to train hunting dogs, subjecting them to brutal acts of violence that leave them fighting for their lives.
In Ireland and the United Kingdom, the demand for live bait has reached alarming levels. A single fox can fetch £100 on the black market, while rabbits and hares are often caught in bulk for around £20 each.
Badgers, a protected species, are targeted for their high market value. These animals endure unimaginable suffering as they are used to 'blood' hunting dogs in cruel and illegal activities such as badger baiting and hare coursing.
We cannot allow this cruelty to continue, Friend. We call upon the UK and Irish Government to take immediate action against this abhorrent practice.
By signing this petition, you are standing up for these innocent animals and demanding that Government take action. Together, we can create a united front against wildlife cruelty and help protect the future of our wildlife.
