Politicians from both Wales and Scotland have backed calls by national animal welfare charity the League Against Cruel Sports for the next UK government to strengthen fox hunting laws.

MSs joined animal welfare campaigners at the Senedd today to express their support for a ban on so-called trail hunting and for loopholes in the Hunting Act being exploited by hunts to be closed down.

It follows comments by SNP politicians calling for tougher measures to tackle fox hunting across England and Wales and to emulate the example being set by the Scottish Government which banned trail hunting last year.

Chris Luffingham, acting chief executive of the League Against Cruel Sports, said “It’s time for change and to end hunting for good. The laws in Wales and England need to be strengthened.
