Animal welfare campaigners criticise South Dorset Hunt
The League Against Cruel Sports has responded to the Boxing Day parade
Animal welfare campaigners from the League Against Cruel Sports have branded the South Dorset Hunt Boxing Day parade as a 'lame public relations exercise' which masks the hunt’s brutality.
A hunt parade took place at Cokers Frome in Dorchester yesterday (Boxing Day, Tuesday 26th December), despite its illegality.
Emma Judd, head of campaigns at the League Against Cruel Sports, said:
“The South Dorset Boxing Day parade is nothing but a lame public relations exercise designed to cover up the reality of the harm they cause to wildlife, rural communities and to people who are purely there to make sure they are complying with the law. They are attempting to mask that brutal reality, but their masks are slipping.
“It’s time for change. It’s time for hunting laws to be strengthened in the UK so that the barbaric and sordid world of fox hunting is finally consigned to the history books.”
