League Against Cruel Sports
Charity number: 1095234
Website: www.league.org.uk
Description:
The League is a registered charity that brings together people who care about animals. Like the majority of the public, we believe that cruelty to animals in the name of sport has no place in modern society. We have no political bias. We were established in 1924 and are unique because we focus on cruelty to animals for sport.
We expose the barbaric nature of cruel sports and the people involved, identifying what action should be taken. We raise awareness and campaign for change by lobbying government, politicians and businesses. This includes campaigning for new laws and helping to enforce existing laws to protect animals from cruel sports in the UK and across the globe. We were instrumental in bringing about legislation to ban hunting and coursing with packs of dogs in England, Wales and Scotland. We also offer advice to people whose lives are being detrimentally affected by cruel sports.
