League Against Cruel Sports
|
|
|
(London SE1)
Pressure group formed in 1924 to campaign against all forms of *hunting. Its activities also include opposition to coursing (see *greyhound racing) and efforts to stamp out the illegal activity of badger baiting. Private bills to ban hunting have as yet failed to win a majority in parliament, but public opinion seems to be moving against the sport – a trend no doubt accentuated by the League's 1992 video of the *Quorn.
