Sir Barney White-Spunner, executive chairman of the Countryside Alliance, has urged children to ditch their laptops and try country sports like shooting and fishing.
Figures obtained by the BBC through a Freedom of Information request indicate that there has only been one prosecution under the Hunting Act in the Midlands since the Act came into force in February 2005.
The Countryside Alliance has announced that Jamie Stewart, founder and managing director of Westcountry Wildlife Services, has joined its shooting campaign as a consultant.
Shooting representatives were united in their calls for no ‘knee-jerk’ response from the government with regards to firearms licensing in the wake of the tragic shootings in Peterlee in January.
To coincide with the traditional start of the hunt season, the Countryside Alliance has drawn attention to statistics that it says show the Hunting Act is a failure and a waste of police time.
