Hi all, Despite the retraction of the vote on lifting the ban, the cubbing season - which is upon us at the moment - still remains an horrific, barbaric and widely practiced activity. Young fox hounds are trained for the hunt by chasing and ripping apart fox cubs who have been specially raised in captivity for the occasion (let's remember the 'barn cubs' in recent press) or flushed from their earths by huntsmen and terrier men. To raise awareness of this illegal practice, and to ask for tighter control of the laws, one of our campaigners has started a petition which you can sign and share from here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/en-gb/476/973/514/ensure-tighter-controls-on-illegal-fox-cub-cubbing/ Another campaigner and her three year old daughter have recently been in the press with a beautiful idea for t.shirts, designed by the young lady in question, to raise awareness and funds to counter cubbing with the catchphrase 'Cub for Cub'. Check it out below and thank you again for your support and effort in raising awareness of the cruel practices currently happening in our country, to our wildlife. Nicky & Becky
