Falconry policy

Falconry involves the use of birds of prey to kill other birds and animals for sport.

The welfare of captive birds of prey kept for sport, where they are reared and held, and at shows and game fairs where the birds are often exhibited and used in displays, is a matter of concern.

The League Against Cruel Sports also believes that in the interests of raptor welfare, no further licences should be issued. The League believes that the bloodsport of falconry should be banned.
