Strengthen the 2004 Hunting Act
UK Government
The Hunting Act 2004, which prohibits the hunting of wild mammals with dogs in England and Wales, has been in effect for almost twenty years.
However, despite the ban, hunts persist and engage in illegal activities by pursuing and killing wild animals, using 'trail hunting' as a cover and exploiting loopholes and exemptions in the law to avoid punishment.
As long as some forms of mammal hunting are still allowed and the current legislation remains inadequate, hunting activities will persist and endanger wildlife for years to come. Rather than tolerating modified forms of hunting, we need to completely eradicate these practices.

Dear Minister,
It has been almost twenty years since the Hunting Act 2004 was enacted in England and Wales, which aimed to prohibit the hunting of wild mammals with dogs. However, it has become apparent that the Act has not achieved its objective of eradicating hunting in the UK.
Hunts persist across the nation, regularly breaching the law by pursuing and killing wild animals, either by utilizing the guise of "trail hunting" or exploiting loopholes and exemptions to evade prosecution.
We request that you urgently review the Hunting Act 2004 with a consideration to strengthen the Hunting Act.
