In this shocking footage courtesy of ITV News, terrier men from the Avon Vale Hunt are seen digging out a fox whilst surrounded by hounds during what’s supposed to be a legal trail hunt. If trail hunting is real, then why are terrier men needed? Sign 👉 leagueacs.co.uk/uzUpk

It’s clear this is not trail hunting. The government must take action - NOW The government must close the loopholes, properly ban hunting, and introduce real consequences for those who break the law.

Since 2000, 76 horses have died at #CheltenhamFestival — at least one every year. This appalling record shows gambling profits come before horse welfare. The League urges the public to stay away, refuse to bet & switch off ITV’s coverage. More: leagueacs.co.uk/ORyi7

Springwell Bay is the first horse to lose its life at this year's #CheltenhamFestival after suffering a fatal injury in a fall at a fence. We’re calling for a boycott of the festival & for an independent regulator that puts horse welfare first. More 👉 leagueacs.co.uk/4HMft
