Study on the Effects on the Local Economy Should a Ban on Hunting be Implemented
Summary
The research seeks to identify all aspects of the local economy, society and environment that would be affected directly or indirectly if there were to be a stag hunting ban. The study focuses on the Quantocks and Greater Exmoor area where 3 stag hunts operate. The report concludes that a ban could result in the potential loss of £9.5m and 584 FTE jobs from the local economy, as well as undermining a strong sense of community and the need to find alternative means of maintaining the environment.
