Police receive training from animal rights groups
The Thames Valley and Cumbria police forces have received training in how to enforce the Hunting Act from animal rights groups, a Freedom of Information request made by the Countryside Alliance (CA) has found.
The request found that Cumbria police forces were given training by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and that Thames Valley Police had similar training with the League Against Cruel Sports.
The Countryside Alliance’s Kate Hoey MP, said: ?The idea that IFAW is a suitable organisation to provide training to officers on issues relating to hunting and the Hunting Act is extraordinary.?
