Save The Hunting Act


Save The Hunting Act
The Issue
We want to petition Mark Pawsey, MP for Rugby and Bulkington, who has stated in writing that he will vote in favour of foxes and stags being ripped apart by a pack of dogs in the name of sport.
10 years after being outlawed, barbaric activities using dogs, such as fox hunting,stag hunting and hare coursing are being legalised again. We need the people of this constituency to take action and send a clear message to our representative in Parliament that the people of Rugby and Bulkington want him to vote to Save The Hunting Act in a free vote.
Foxes are often made out to be pests by those who want to persecute them, but the facts don’t support the demonisation of this iconic British species.
Chasing and killing wild animals with dogs is cruel and has nothing to do with wildlife management. There is no credible evidence that fox numbers have increased since the ban or that more foxes are being killed by other means. Moreover, hares are a declining species in Britain and classified as a conservation priority. With over 400 convictions to date, the Hunting Act is the most successful piece of wild animal–welfare legislation in this country's history.
Please sign our online petition or download a paper copy from our Facebook campaign group and get your friends and family to sign it.
Vote now and let Mr Pawsey know that you want him to Save The Hunting Act! #KeepTheBan #SaveTheHuntingAct
