Pagans to join upcoming London march against wildlife cruelty
|
LONDON — A march against wildlife cruelty will be held in London August 12. The joint protest is being sponsored by The Badger Trust, the Make Hunting History coalition, and Care2. Organizers write, “The key aim […] will be to call on the new Conservative minority government to bring an immediate end to the cruel, costly and ineffective badger cull policy and to strengthen rather than seek to repeal the Hunting Act.” They also want to “raise public awareness of the barbarity of fox-cub hunting, otherwise known as ‘cubbing’ or ‘Autumn hunting’, which is currently in season and has started across the UK.” Additionally, the driven grouse season starts August 12, the same day as the march, and is reportedly “detrimental to the much persecuted Hen Harriers.”
