In recent years Yorkshire has had its fair share of problems with badger baiters, persecution of birds of prey, allegations of illegal hunting and other wildlife abuse. Nevertheless Welcome to Yorkshire, the official tourism agency for Yorkshire, has now allowed a bloodsport group to be one its members.
The Countryside Alliance, formerly the British Field Sports Society, is known for promoting cruelty to animals and supporting businesses and individuals who partake in such cruel and barbaic activities.
Wildlife supporters have set up a petition to prevent cruelty to animals, and ask Welcome to Yorkshire to cancel the Countryside Alliances membership.

Please don’t forget also to e-mail ‘Welcome to Yorkshire’ if you have not done so already.
