What the petition asks
Pass a law to explicitly send to jail and keep a criminal record for fox and other animal hunt. Seek prosecution.
I and millions of other people are passionate about nature and its creatures. Hunting for sport or pleasure is cruel and in no way or form should be allowed. We are all herefor a reason and no one or anything should have to go through suffer and pain for nothing.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Under the Hunting Act 2004 fox hunting is already illegal.
Decisions about investigating and prosecuting alleged crimes are a matter for the police and Crown Prosecution Service, not the Government or Parliament.
