I have no doubt this is just the first domino to fall, and thanks to your support it is the beginning of the end for trail hunting in the UK.
Thanks to your campaign effort Natural Resources Wales/ Cyfoeth
Naturiol Cymru has ended ‘trail’ hunting on its land.
The organisation is one of the largest landowners in Wales.
In a statement issued today, Dominic Driver, Head of Land
Stewardship and NRW said:
"The outcome of the court case against a senior leader of the MFHA
has resulted in a loss of confidence in the organisation’s ability
to ensure its activities are carried out within the law and terms of
its agreement."
For such a major landowner like NRW Wales to permanently end trail
hunting on its land is hugely significant. The NRW board’s robust
condemnation of the hunts in the wake of the recent conviction is
wholly appropriate, and other major landowners that had also
suspended so-called trail hunting ahead of the trial must surely be
in the process of ending this activity on their land.
In the last year supporters have sent nearly 400,000 emails to
landowners such as Forestry England, United Utilities, the Church of
England, Crown Estates, Duchy of Cornwall, national parks
authorities, and the Ministry of Defence to ask them to also
permanently end hunting on their property.
I have no doubt this is just the first domino to fall, and thanks to
your support it is the beginning of the end for trail hunting in the
UK.
