League Against Cruel Sports is the leading UK charity campaigning to stop cruelty to animals associated with sports such as hunting, game bird shooting, snaring, dog fighting and wildlife crime. Established in 1924, we successfully use lawful investigations, campaigning and lobbying to make a difference in the UK and around the world. Through our investigations and intelligence teams we have worked closely with the police and Crown Prosecution Service to ensure those who illegally hunt animals for sport are brought to justice. To date there have been over 400 convictions since the ban began in 2005.
