Stop Hunting on the Nation's Land

Black Combe Beagles illegally hunting a hare on @nationaltrust land earlier this year. This hunt is currently being investigated by @cumbriapolice, yet @markjenkinsonmp sees a shameless photo opportunity whilst promoting wildlife crime.

But you're a supporter of illegal hunting and have even had a recent photo taken with Black Combe Beagles, a hunt that is being investigated by police for illegally hunting a hare on @nationaltrust land

If @WildlifeTrusts can do it why can't NT? They aren't relying on visitors to report to police, who then tell them they can't do anything. @nationaltrust is too enmeshed with illegal hunting, with tenants and land agents taking part in hunting and terrier work in some areas.

@HilaryMcGrady @nationaltrust members voted to end hunting on NT land in 2021. So why has NT retained its 'trailhunting management' staff at a cost to the membership? And why is illegal hunting of foxes, stags and hares occurring so frequently on @nationaltrust land?

Indeed - when will illegal hunting on @nationaltrust land end?

As in YES @nationaltrust still welcome illegal hunting and YES their tenants take part

@HilaryMcGrady @nationaltrust can you tell us why yet another of your tenants is committing wildlife crime on @nationaltrust land?

@nationaltrust @HilaryMcGrady Another year of illegal hunting on NT land, with hunts meeting at NT properties and being filmed chasing foxes, hares & stags. Stop telling people to report to police if you have no intention of standing by NT member's vote to stop hunting on NT land

Well done to @cumbriawildlife for taking action against illegal hunting/trespass by the Blencathra Foxhounds on Wildlife Trust land at Eycott Hill last Sunday
