Twenty years after the first hunting ban, it is clear that hunting with hounds continues across the country, despite overwhelming public support for an end to this cruelty. The government has announced a consultation on banning trail hunting later this year, and The New Hunting Ban is working to ensure that the voices of those who care about animals, wildlife, and the countryside are heard where it matters most.

We are gathering opinions on potential policies that would deliver a meaningful, enforceable ban on hunting with hounds. Your input will help shape The New Hunting Ban’s recommendations, ensuring they reflect the experiences, concerns, and hopes of those who want to see real change.

This survey is open to everyone, whether you are a campaigner, member of the public, rural resident, landowner, or simply someone who cares about animal welfare.

Together, we can help end the cruelty of hunting with hounds for good.

Thank you for your time.
