Pro-foxhunting group says UK hunters should be protected ethnic minority
  • Chair of Hunting Kind says he has built legal case to obtain same protection as Roma and LGBTQ+ people. They have prepared a legal case to try to prove that hunters are an ethnic minority whose hunts should be protected under equality laws.

  • Ed Swales, the chair of Hunting Kind, claims he has been advised by a leading human rights lawyer that hunters unequivocally qualify for legal protection under the UK Equality Act 2010.

  • Speaking to the FieldsportsChannel podcast, Swales said: “The qualifications of an ethnic group, there are five of them, and we hit everyone straight in the bullseye.”
