The petition is looking for a total of 2500 signatures.<\/p>\n<p>The Boxing Day Hunt is a tradition for hunting packs across the UK in which the hunt will have a public display of their horses, hounds and hunters before engaging in the hunt itself. The Waveney Harriers, though nominally a hare hunt, have in recent years shifted toward pursuing and murdering foxes. The Hunting Act, introduced 2005, was meant to outlaw hunting wild animals with hound packs but the reality is hunting never stopped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We are appealing to Bungay Town Council and Suffolk Highways at Suffolk County Council to not allow the closure of Earsham Street, Bungay or any street on boxing day 2015 (and 2016 and beyond) for the meet of the Waveney Harriers&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9754,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[5,9,10,12,8,11,13],"class_list":["post-20","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-localnews","tag-anarchy","tag-animal-liberation","tag-bungay","tag-hunt-sabbing","tag-suffolk","tag-veganism","tag-waveney-harriers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblackplume.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblackplume.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblackplume.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblackplume.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/9754"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblackplume.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theblackplume.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28,"href":"https:\/\/theblackplume.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20\/revisions\/28"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theblackplume.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblackplume.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theblackplume.noblogs.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
