Charlie Moores talks with the founder of Keep the Ban, Rob Pownall. Launched in 2015 but ticking over until some eighteen months ago, a change in strategy, a new website, and a massively ramped up social media presence saw Keep the Ban launch numerous anti-hunt campaigns and develop investigative work alongside the renowned Hunt Investigation Team (or HIT).
As Rob explains he has some extremely interesting ideas on where he thinks Keep the Ban should go next, plans for expanding on the work he is doing already, and developing partnerships (including perhaps with Off the Leash).
Before we get to that though, Keep the Ban says on its website that “It is beyond clear that hunts are not ‘trail hunting’ as they claim. Farmers and landowners are complicit in the supply of foxes for the purpose of hunting. Foxes are still being hunted across the country on a huge scale.”
Indeed they are, and on January 5th 2022 Keep The Ban supported the Hunt Investigation Team with their latest undercover investigation, which saw the Vale of White Horse Hunt filmed deliberately and intentionally hunting a fox.
