Emailed the given address to say how shameful that they prefer to profit through persecution over protection of our threatened and vulnerable wildlife. Let’s see what they say, if anything

I am so glad that that beautiful fox was saved and released by those kind activists 👍✊🦊❤️💖💖. Snares are barbaric, completely uneccessary and ALL "types" need to be completely banned everywhere now 🤬🤬🤬!! Out of curiosity, I looked up what animal related parliamentary bills have been created. I was glad to see: 1. Labour MP Ruth Jones introduce the "Fur (Import and Sale) Bill": https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3789

2. Labour MP Steve Race introduce the "Animals in Medical Research (Prohibition) Bill": https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3811

3. Conservative MP David Reed reintroduce the "Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill": https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3809

And 4. Liberal Democrat MP Dr Danny Chambers introduce the "Animal Welfare (Import of dogs, cats and ferrets) Bill": https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3790

But there was NO mention of any bill yet to ban trail hunting or snares!! As for so called "Dukes" and "Lords", I have NO time for them as this article proves why 🤬🤬🤬!! Paying no inheritance tax whilst Labour still claim about "rebuilding the economy"? Severely taxing ALL the so called "Dukes, Lords, Monarchy and billionaires" (a lot of whom, very sadly, often don't give a toss about animals in the slightest!) is the answer!!

Well said, Cara. Thank you for gathering that valuable information together. It was very useful for me to double check I had signed them. I was sickened about the fox snare too. That estate is about 20 minutes from where I live; they have an open day to the public each year, but out of principle I could, and would, never set foot in that place. Like you, I despise the entitled, privileged, corrupt, inherited system of the cruel and unempathetic upper class.

Thank you Helen and you are most welcome ❤️!! I am glad that the information is useful! As I said previously, there is a bill to, hopefully 🤞, ban barbaric fur for good, phase out abhorrent animal "experiments", ban the import of sick hunting "trophies" and be far stricter on dog, cat and ferret "imports". Apart from fur, they are "pledges" that were mentioned in Labour's election manifesto (To: 1. *End the badger cull

2. *Ban trail hunting

3. Ban the import of hunting trophies

4. End puppy smuggling and puppy farming

5. *Ban the use of snares and

6. Phase out animal testing)

*Snares and trail hunting are STILL waiting however!! *I do also feel that their "promise" to "Ban" the barbaric and completely uneccessary badger "cull" has already been broken though 😿💔🤬🤬🤬. I just hope it won't go the same way for abhorrent snares and hunting too! Bless you for staying true to your morals and ethics Helen and refusing to go there 👍✊👏❤️💖!! It is an absolute abomination that so often, so many of those with the most wealth are the ones who don't deserve it the most at all 🤬🤬!!

All that money, all the ways he could make this world a better place, and this is his legacy. Disgusting.

couldn't have put it better.

The trouble is Helen, it’s all about the money. The sums made from game shoots are huge. The vast majority of the landed gentry simply don’t care about wildlife.

You’re right, Dave, the only thing they care about is money. And making more and more. I will never understand their mentality.

It seems to me that all these sudden calls to 'protect nature' on estates and elsewhere promotes rules for everyone else, except the landowners and buddies. Such calls are a massive smokescreen for them to carry on as usual! 'The peasants' (us) are no longer uneducated fools!

Completely agree, Rosemary
