The Hunting Act came into effect on 18th February 2005. The Hunting Act 2004 can be found HERE ........................................................................ 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.
