Stop the opportunity to repeal the Hunting Act

The Issue

David Cameron is using this repeal as an incentive as part of his election campaign. Fox hunting is a disgusting 'sport' and hunting with hounds should not be brought back. Cameron has made comments about how he himself enjoys the countryside, as do a lot of us, but fox hunting is unacceptable. There is no excuse for it anymore, if we need to control the fox population then there are other methods of doing it: much more humane methods. I recently read a child's guide to fox hunting and the justifications within it were unreasonable, being age old pretexts for the continued practice of an outdated hobby. We no longer live in an age where hunting should be tolerated or excused as a 'sport'. There are many other countryside activities that can be participated in and enjoyed. I started this appeal because I feel that fox hunting is a cruel and unnecessary action that has no place in our society anymore. Animals who live in the wild have only us to stand up for their lives and help protect them, please do this by signing this petition and help to halt this repeal.
