Labour MP pressures government to ban foxhunting for good with private member’s bill
Labour MP Neil Duncan-Jordan aims to ban trail-hunting and stag-hunting to enforce the 2004 Hunting Act, citing over 80 incidents of law enforcement inaction, campaigners said.
- Labour MP Neil Duncan-Jordan is set to launch a private member's bill to ban foxhunting, aiming to address loopholes that allow the practice to continue, including trail-hunting.
- The New Hunting Ban campaign group will release reforms next week to strengthen the 2004 Hunting Act, to coincide with its 21st anniversary.
- Duncan-Jordan reported seeing no evidence of hunters following a scent trail during a monitoring visit, claiming that hounds blocked traffic and entered areas without trails.
- A spokesperson for the British Hound Sports Association stated that trail-hunting is lawful and conducted under clear rules, rejecting Duncan-Jordan's claims about unlawful behavior.
