OK, so I know I had a little rant about fox hunting a little while ago, but I'm going to do it again. There is something seriously wrong with people who hunt innocent animals FOR FUN. OK, so I know that foxes are pests and need to be dealt with, but I really object to a bunch of red-coated toffs jollying around the countryside cheering when they've terrified and torn to shreds a sentient being.
If you feel strongly about this issue PLEASE look at the stance of the different political parties before voting at the next general election. It is strongly rumoured that the Conservatives will seek to support the Countryside Alliance and overturn the ban on fox hunting. This is terrifying. More info to follow on this once I have found something concrete xx
Great post Gemma! Check out the Vote OK website. Vote OK and the CA are offering to campaign and leaflet (for free) for any Tory candidate so they can make sure all new candidates are pro-hunt. In other words they want to sew up this so called 'free vote' amongst MPs. If Cameron is successful, he will be the only leader in modern history to overturn an act that prevents cruelty!
ReplyDeleteThere is no case for repeal. Hunt numbers are up all over the country. Drag hunting is legal. The sense of community, pageantry, heritage, and jobs are all still intact and yet these disgraceful people can’t manage to enjoy themselves unless they are terrifying and killing animals.
If you support the hunting act, please get your names on the R.O.A.R. (Register Online Against Repeal), an ‘all party’ list at: www.campaignfordecency.org.uk
Please make your voices heard!
Thank you for the information - will certainly be doing more to raise awareness of this issue. Thanks again for taking the time to read and comment xx
