    Trail Hunting Is Being Banned — What This Really Means for Animals

    21/12/2025 - By 

    For years, trail hunting has been defended as a harmless rural pastime — a neat workaround introduced after the 2004 fox‑hunting ban. But the truth has always been far messier.

This is more than a policy update. It’s a long‑overdue acknowledgement of what animal‑protection groups, monitors, and vegans have been saying for decades: cruelty dressed up as tradition is still cruelty.
