Petition Action

Make it illegal to harass those engaged in legal fieldsports.

Petition Details

For decades now those involved in legal fieldsports (hunting, shooting, fishing, trapping, etc.) have been subjected to a barrage of abuse, both verbally and more increasingly, physically by 'hunt saboteurs'. This harassment of those involved in legal fieldsports should be made an offence.

Additional Information

In the US they have Hunter Harassment Laws, these include:

"Impeding or obstructing a person who is engaged in lawful hunting, fishing or trapping. This could include trying to get in the way of a sportsman."

"Impeding or obstructing a person who is engaged in a lawful activity."

It's also an offence to scare away game so it can't be hunted.

We need similar laws in the UK to stop the harassment of those participating in legal fieldsports activities.
