League Against Cruel Sports Chief Resigns

Squall 12, Spring 1996, pg. 15.

The head of the League Against Cruel Sports resigned in December following a dispute over remarks he made in a hunting magazine.

James Barrington claims he was forced out of the organisation after giving two interviews in the Field Magazine, in which he said a compromise could be found between the two sides.

He said that if huntsmen stopped using terrier men the League “would feel less antagonistic towards hunting”.

But this outraged the League’s 40,000 members who want a total ban.
