BAN HOUNDS BEING TRAINED TO KILL FOXES AND HARES
The hunts claim that they lay “trails,” but foxes are still being killed.
Hounds are taught to kill foxes when they are young.
If the hounds were not trained to kill, they wouldn’t kill foxes whilst on a trail hunt!
There is footage of people throwing fox cubs to young hounds to train them how to kill. The hounds don’t naturally kill foxes, they have to be taught!
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
The practice you describe is already illegal, so we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You can find our more about the law on hunting mammals here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
There's already a petition calling for foxes to be made a protected species, which you might like to sign:
