Hunts Banned From Forestry Commission Land

News from the League Against Cruel Sports:

The Isle of Wight Hunt has been banned from land owned by the Forestry Commission. The Hunt is already the subject of a police investigation and facing a criminal prosecution.

The Commission took its unprecedented action following evidence from the League showing a fox being pursued across its land. Further film showed the hunt, with hounds, present at a badger set. Both actions could lead to prosecution.

Matt Fox, League campaigner said: ‘The Isle of Wight Hunt has long behaved as though it owned the entire island. I am delighted the Forestry Commission has taken decisive action.’
