call to action: AAF’s letter to Defra
We’re gutted to hear that the Government Consultation to strengthen the Hunting Act has been delayed once again. So, we’re writing a letter to Defra, and would like everyone to add their name. We hope to reach 1000 names. We’ll print the letter, with your names and put it in the post to Defra.

the british hound sports association’s real agenda
The BSHA promotes itself as the guardian of standards while refusing to demand even basic compliance with the law of the land. It rejects the very legislation that defines its limits, and treats defiance not as an aberration but as the norm. In doing so, it gives every one of its members licence to do the same.
Though, to be fair, they do tells us that themselves.

QUICK READ – AAF Digest of the debate and key quotations.
Fox hunting is illegal.
The majority of people don’t support animal cruelty, so they don’t support the hunts. The hunts pretend they are “trail hunting” to cover up what they are doing, and some people even believe them. They are also masquerading as noble, traditional and worthy organisations. But they are lying. It is our job in AAF to make sure that everyone knows what the hunts are really up to. We reach people outside Social Media by holding street stalls and distributing leaflets. We also run high-profile campaigns.
We ALWAYS welcome new members. It doesn’t matter if you are already involved, or you want to start getting active, we have something you can do.
We are a dynamic and supportive group – and we look after each other.
Everyone in AAF is a volunteer. How much you do is entirely up to you. Even a couple of hours of leafleting is useful. You never know – you might be the one to make all the difference.
