The Hunting Bill received Royal Assent on 18 November 2004. The Hunting Act came in to effect
on 18 February 2005.
POWA
continues to campaign to ensure this law is complied with in the hunting field and upheld through the courts.
After
ten overwhelming votes, over seven years, in favour of a complete ban on hunting, the will of the people and the sovereign
will of parliament was upheld - democracy indeed!
The
hunting of foxes, deer, hares and mink with packs of dogs must be consigned to the history books, where it belongs, with its
likewise illegal bedfellows, cock fighting, dog fighting and badger baiting.
