National animal welfare charity the League Against Cruel Sports has hailed the general election result as a huge step forward in its fight to see fox hunting properly banned.

The charity’s figures show that illegal hunting is still rife across England and Wales – a position echoed by the top police officer responsible for stamping it out for good.

Emma Judd, the League’s head of campaigns, said: “We’re delighted to see a new government in power that has pledged to protect animals and should have the wherewithal to deliver on its promises.

illegal

properly banned

This makes no sense. If it's illegal, it's already banned.

I assume they mean enforceable ban. As the current one is pretty openly ignored with claims of trail setting gone wrong.
