The practice of Fox Hunting with Dogs involves setting a pack of dogs on a fox then chasing it on horseback, usually in traditional dress. The "sport" is to many people a vicious and outdated pastime, and the idea of repealing the ban is an horrific one.

A recent YouGov poll found that the majority want to keep this ban. We want our voices to be heard by our MP, James Duddridge, who has recently said he will vote to repeal the ban.

We believe the practice of Fox Hunting with Dogs it is not for purpose of chicken coop protection (according to the British Poultry Council, "94% of UK chicken production comes from intensively reared birds" - where foxes cannot gain access to their caged enclosures).

We also believe that Fox Hunting with Dogs is not for the purpose of pest control. It must be noted that under current law it is still LEGAL to shoot a fox, if doing so is deemed necessary. Shooting is a more than adequate method of killing a fox, and it is far less cruel. There is no need for the barbarity of Hunting with Dogs.

The repeal of the ban would legalize Fox Hunting with Dogs, which has been described as a "country sport" by David Cameron. This "sport" is cruel and unnecessary.

Please, sign this petition to show James Duddridge MP how archaic his view is on the topic of Hunting for sport, and show your support for the animals that the ban currently protects.
