We are only a few days away from the start of March, when fox cubs are born. Vixens need safety to raise their young.

Loopholes in the hunting ban are still being exploited, putting wildlife in danger. The time for change is now.

A rare sighting on our donor-funded wildlife reserve.

A critically endangered pine marten has been spotted here. She’s been nicknamed Myrtle.

The pile keeps growing, and so does the evidence.

In Birmingham we laid out 648 foxes – each one a report of foxes being chased since the last general election when the government promised to tighten hunting laws.

Today, Birmingham witnessed the shocking scale of illegal hunting as 648 fake bloodied foxes were piled high in Victoria Square – one for each report we have received of a fox being chased by hunts since the summer of 2024.

This is the scale of illegal fox hunting.

We laid out 648 bloodied foxes in central London to expose the reality of this cruel activity - one for every report of foxes being chased by hunts since the government promised to properly ban hunting.

A huntsman has been ordered to pay more than £5,000 and forfeit his hunting horn to be destroyed after pleading guilty mid-trial to illegally hunting and killing a hare with hounds.

Northamptonshire huntsman to pay more than £5k and have his horn destroyed after admitting guilt halfway through trial for killing hare with hounds A Northamptonshire huntsman changed his plea to guilty halfway through his trial today (February 17) where he and a colleague were facing charges for killing a hare with hounds.

“A very strong message must go out to everyone involved in this activity. The public will not stand for this." - Judge Amar Mehta 👇

648 bloodied foxes. One for every reported hunt chase since summer 2024.

Promises to strengthen the law remain unfulfilled. With 76 percent of the public backing tougher laws, our message is clear: the time for change is now.
