We went to Downing Street to demand a proper ban on hunting
We will end hunting for good!
A couple of days ago myself and some of the brilliant team at Protect the Wild (Charlotte, Tom and Charlie) headed to 10 Downing Street to hand in the 175,000+ strong petition for a proper ban on all hunting with hounds.
It’s a petition that has been growing in momentum and size for quite some time and ahead of the upcoming public consultation on hunting we thought it was the right time to hand it in. I just wanted to take this moment to thank every single one of you for putting your name behind it. The day served as a powerful reminder that we are not going anywhere until this Govt finally ends hunting for good.
It is only a matter of time before this sick pastime is consigned to the dustbin of history and we have a very busy few months ahead as we push from all angles to make sure it happens asap.
Here’s what I had to say outside Number 10 :)
Want to support the campaign to end hunting?
On the 1st of September I have (stupidly) decided to spend 24 hours straight walking/running laps of Parliament as a symbolic reminder that we’re not going anywhere until this Government protects British wildlife and ends hunting for good.
The goal is to raise £24k to fund our vital work - from animations, a national leaflet campaign, days of action in ten cities, equipment for activists in the field, journalism, reports and so much more.
We’re currently sitting on £13,709 with 3 weeks to go!
Rob, you are my complete hero! Good luck and we will all be behind you pushing this government to stand by its promises. No more bloodshed in our countryside! No more sick violence to our wildlife. They say that all you should leave behind is footprints, not carcasses, blood, violence and cruelty. Every creature that calls the countryside home will stand up and be counted, every life matters, together let’s put an end to this once and for all! Love and peace will prevail. ❤️
Good luck Rob!!! I think you must be crazy to do the 24 hour thing, but I also admire you for your passion and commitment. Deffo sponsor you!!!!! Xx
