An extremely upsetting video was posted recently showing the cruelty of hunters in Northern Ireland. It is not illegal to release a deer with the intention of of chasing it to near-death, to exhaust it, to traumatise it, to then recapture it and do the same thing all over again. This is just one example of the cruel way we use animals for entertainment in Northern Ireland. We are the one place in the whole of the UK that legally allow this cruelty. If everywhere else can change why can’t we? An animal should never be treated cruelly as an act of pleasure or sport. I have made this petition as a voice for anyone who is disgusted and upset by the traumatic treatment of animals in Northern Ireland. We are the only ones who can help these animals and make a difference.
