What the petition asks
Halt fox hunters from gathering , cease fox hunting in order to stop the spread of this pandemic and making it worse
stop fox hunts from meeting in their hundreds before it spreads more disease.
large groups of fox hunters and terrier workers are meeting in private houses and farms and running out together in groups of over a hundred.
they should not be exempt from social distancing, just because it is a "tradition".
prevention measures need to be taken by all and each and every person , this should include the fox hunting groups and supporters who seem to believe they are immune to the disease
