Hunting and equestrian activities can't be celebrated when they come at the cost of animal lives.

Why is the government endorsing an event that involves killing animals? This is not the legacy we should be promoting.

Falconry is cruel and should not be glorified. We should be focusing on protecting these magnificent birds instead.

I find it hard to reconcile the idea of coexistence with the exhibition of hunting practices. Can we evolve as a society?

Celebrating hunting traditions in a time when the planet is facing climate change seems tone-deaf.

Is it really necessary to hold an exhibition that revolves around hunting when so many species are endangered?
