Amanda Waldron and her daughters have been handing out petitions at St Philip Howard Catholic School in Barnham to bring the issue to the attention of residents.

Amanda said: "I was absolutely appalled when I realised this was going on. These animals are being bred for rich members of the public to shoot.

"A ban is already in place in Holland. Hopefully one will happen in this country as well."
