“The time for the ban on hunting with dogs has finally arrived. In a landmark decision yesterday afternoon, MPs voted to end hunting with dogs in England and Wales. The ban will come into effect in July 2006. It’s the beginning of the end for the barbaric sport.

This decision will save countless foxes, deer, hare and mink from being chased to exhaustion and cruelly torn apart alive by dogs. This is a ruling that will put a final end to centries of cruelty. It will resonate throughout the world: animal suffering and bloodshed will no longer be justified in the name of entertainment.” ~ IFAW

Since 1989, IFAW (The International Fund for Animal Welfare) has been leading the campaign in the UK for a total ban on hunting wild animals with dogs. And if you’d like to help IFAW win more victories like this one, please make a donation today.
