The lovely labour government is about to ban trail hunting in England. The resulting repercussions to all forms of hunting with hounds and dog work - even gundog flushing and deer dog work - will be effected in the long term.

Please show your concerns by lobbying your MP by using the link below.

If we do not have a stand, we will be walked all over.
 
Did it a few weeks ago. I’m a member of CA, mainly because they are very active in the defence of not just trail hunting but all countryside persuits.
 
Remarkably surprised, did this about 09:30 this morning. Had a response email from my MP Nick Timothy about a minute ago:

"Thank you for copying me into your submission to the Government’s consultation on trail hunting. I can assure you that I agree it should not be banned, and will continue to advocate to this effect. Please do not hesitate to contact me in future about any problems or concerns you have with which I can help."
 
In general, yes. But a chocolate fireguard on lead. (They've a bit of a track record of shouting "all for one!" when they're the one, and shrugging "Not my problem" when they aren't.)

Most organisations have a single focus in what they support. CA focus on hunting (in the old English traditional view of Hunting, Shooting, Fishing…not hunting in modern parlance), BASC focus on Driven bird shooting, both claim to support other country pursuits but do so with varying degrees of vigour. At the moment no one is focussing on deer stalking probably because deer numbers are recognised as a problem by the general public and therefore less of a a concern.
