Ian Pedler has been opposed to blood sports since first joining the League Against Cruel Sports when he was 10 years old. He was active with the Hunt Saboteurs Association from its inception in 1963, then as founder of the Save Our Stags Campaign, while also serving as an Executive Committee member of the League. Ian is ideally placed to write the history of the anti-bloodsports campaign in the UK.
Starting with the earliest attempts at Parliamentary legislation in 1883, the formation of the League, and culminating in a detailed account of the final 1997-2004 push to abolish bloodsports with the passage of the 2004 Hunting Act, Ian Pedler’s Save Our Stages is an important and detailed history that includes the roles of deer sanctuaries, undercover operatives, hunt monitors and every splinter anti-bloodsports splinter group!
