The Lake District National Park Authority will now ‘suspend trail hunting licences indefinitely for activity on land owned by the LDNPA’!

This decision is a direct result of our exposé of the infamous Hunting Office webinars, which led to the Director of the Masters of Foxhounds Association being found guilty of encouraging hunts to break the Hunting Act.

Trail Hunting statement – 31 May 2022
A spokesperson for the Lake District National Park Authority said:

“The Lake District National Park Authority has confirmed its intention to suspend trail hunting licences indefinitely for activity on land owned by the LDNPA. Officers made the decision and at a briefing members expressed support for their decision. This continues the suspension which has been in place since November 2020.

We will continue to liaise with fell packs, landowners and other stakeholders, including Cumbria Police.”
