Ireland – Ban cruel fox hunting
18 May 2025
Cruel fox hunting should NOT be happening in modern Ireland. It's time for a ban.
In fox hunting, foxes are chased to exhaustion by a pack of hounds and hunters on horseback. When caught, the terrified foxes are knocked to the ground, bitten, disembowelled and pulled apart. If a fox tries to find refuge underground, the hunters release terriers to go down the hole where they corner and attack the fox. The hunters then dig the earth away from above and drag out the squealing and injured fox who is then brutally killed.
A RED C opinion poll, commissioned by the Irish Council Against Blood Sports, shows that a 77% majority agree that the government should ban fox hunting. The poll found that just 12 per cent disagree with a ban on fox hunting.
Join us in urging the Irish Government to finally ban this barbaric bloodsport.
Contact the leaders of Fianna Fail, Fine Gael, Sinn Fein and the Labour Party. Tell them that you want fox hunting and all bloodsports banned.
