Ban Hunting with dogs in Northern Ireland

Pass a law banning hunting with dogs in Northern Ireland.

Why is this important?

Currently Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK which has NOT outlawed hunting with dogs.

61% of people think it has already been banned.

Hunting with dogs was banned in Scotland through the Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act in 2002 and in England and Wales in 2005 under the Hunting Act.

People here feel strongly about this issue.

In 2016 an Ipsos MORI poll commissioned by the League against Cruel Sports said fewer than one in five people supported fox hunting remaining legal.
