Trail Hunting Ban Announced Today: Impact on Rural Economies and Trad?

Today marks a significant change in wildlife conservation efforts in England and Wales with the announcement of a trail hunting ban. As part of the government’s comprehensive animal welfare strategy, this new hunting legislation aims to curb practices seen as a loophole for illegal hunting of wild animals. While designed to bolster animal protection, this decision raises questions about its impact on rural economies that heavily rely on hunting-related tourism and traditional practices.
