Masters of Foxhounds Assoc-find impartial judge to investigate South Herefordshire Hunt HQ

The Issue

Hunts throughout the UK are continuing the barbaric sport of fox hunting, chasing wild foxes on horse back. If caught, the foxes are literally torn apart by the hunt dogs. If they escape they are left exhausted and traumatized. This sport is illegal but the new Tory government will repeal the ban if they get their way-against over 80% of the U.K.s populations wishes. Recently video of the South Herefordshire Hunt revealed staff throwing live fox Cubs to hunt dogs in a shed and then later removing the cub bodies and throwing them in the bin. The Masters of Fox Hounds Assiciation has agreed to investigate this illegal activity BUT has asked a so called 'independent' judge-Sir John Chadwick- to look into it. Sir John was photographed attacking hunt saboteurs back in 1992 and was once an active hunt member. How can he be impartial? See the article from the Daily Mirror below: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/judge-heading-probe-killing-fox-8424616 We call on the MFHA to relieve Sir John of this investigation and appoint an impartial judge who has in no way been involved with fox hunting.
