Stop the Boxing Day fox hunt parade in Denbigh
Stop the Boxing Day fox hunt parade in Denbigh
The Issue
Fox hunting is a cruel, barbaric, and criminal activity. Every Boxing Day, the streets of Denbigh become a stage for the Flint and Denbigh Fox Hunt to parade through our town, flaunting a tradition that has no place in a civilized society. This spectacle not only celebrates a form of animal abuse but also contradicts the values that Denbigh should stand for: compassion, lawfulness, and the respect for all life.
As members of the Denbigh community and supporters of animal rights, we are appalled to see that our town council supports this inhumane practice by allowing the hunting parade to proceed. It's important to emphasize that fox hunting is illegal in the UK under the Hunting Act 2004. Any activity that enables or promotes this illegal practice should not be endorsed by our town representatives. This is not just a matter of opinion, but a legal and ethical obligation to uphold the law.
The practice of fox hunting is not just cruel—where animals are chased to exhaustion and then killed in a painful manner—but it is also outdated and unrepresentative of modern public sentiment. According to a 2017 poll conducted by ORB International, 85% of the British population opposes fox hunting. This overwhelming majority reflects a significant societal shift, acknowledging that such activities belong to the past, not in the present or future.
We urge Denbigh Town Council to demonstrate leadership and social responsibility by refusing to permit the Flint and Denbigh Fox Hunt to parade through our town on Boxing Day. By taking this stand, Denbigh can become a beacon of progressive values, setting a meaningful precedent for other towns entrenched in similar traditions.
We call upon all animal lovers, environmental supporters, and advocates for social justice to join us in this cause. Let us stand together and voice our rejection of fox hunting and its glorification. Please sign this petition to persuade Denbigh Town Council to stop the Boxing Day fox hunt parade in Denbigh. Together, we can promote a future where compassion and legality take precedence over outdated and cruel traditions.
