The Labour Party conference may be over, but our campaigning hasn’t stopped. Over the last two days, we’ve had some really positive conversations with MPs and members of the public about the need to strengthen fox hunting laws.

More than 30 million ‘hatching game bird eggs’ were imported into the UK over 3 years. That’s more than 2 million kg of eggs recorded in another APHA category. And once those eggs hatch, they can be raised in cramped conditions before being released to be shot.

The pressure is on to finish the job and properly end hunting animals with dogs. We’ve joined 32 MPs and 25 other animal protection organisations in calling on the Prime Minister to act. Read the full story: leagueacs.co.uk/D9Ne3

Birds bred for shooting can travel hundreds of miles before they ever reach a shooting estate. APHA data shows that live ‘game’ birds bred for the shooting industry are imported into the UK from France and Spain.

Very early in the morning, while most people are still asleep in their beds, hunts like the Middleton Hunt are out training hounds to chase foxes before the main hunting season. This drone footage, filmed by the League, shows two foxes desperately trying to escape.

A new trend linked to catapult crime is emerging online, with young people sharing lists of wildlife they want to kill and ticking off the animals they’ve already ‘completed’. If you see someone targeting wildlife with a catapult, please report it. leagueacs.co.uk/yE8zj

Live ‘game’ bird imports jumped by 75% in just one year. Behind these staggering numbers are millions of birds bred for one purpose: to be released and shot. And for many, that life begins in a cage. Cage breeding for shooting needs to end.

3.6 million ‘game’ birds imported into the UK in just three years 😲 They are part of an industry that breeds, transports and releases millions of birds to be shot. For some, that life begins in a cage. Help us end cage bird breeding. Write to your MP: leagueacs.co.uk/fS4Ko

Partridge shooting season is here. And apparently, this is supposed to be a fun ‘sport’. 🙃 Partridges are bred and released in their millions, only to be shot for entertainment. How is that okay? If like us, you think this is a horrible blood sport that needs to end, share far and wide.

“He’s one of the ‘lucky’ ones... However, it shouldn’t be down to luck.” Hamish was surrendered at almost 5 years old, after being raced in Ireland and Brighton. Today he’s living his best life: hiking, beach zoomies, sleeping, eating tasty snacks, and getting plenty of love.

Greyhounds spend most of their lives in kennels, so who is making sure they’re safe & cared for? There is guidance from the Greyhound Board of Great Britain, but it relies on voluntary self-regulation. And the results of licensing inspections & residential kennel audits aren’t publicly reported.

It's National Greyhound Week. But did you know the week itself was created by the greyhound racing industry? While it's presented as a celebration of these incredible dogs, it's also an opportunity to promote a sport where greyhounds continue to suffer injuries and, in some cases, lose their lives.

It's been a few weeks since cub hunting season began. It's hard to believe that, in 2026, this cruelty is still taking place in our countryside. Fox cubs are chased and killed to train hounds ahead of the main hunting season.

This fox cub is safe on our supporter-funded wildlife reserve. But beyond its boundaries, cub hunting season has now begun. While this cub has a chance to explore, play and grow in safety, countless others face the threat of being hunted as hounds are trained ahead of the main hunting season.
