ACTION
Action needed by UK citizens... PLEASE FORWARD TO PEOPLE IN THE UK!
The Government have indicated that they are considering amending the Hunting Act by using an Affirmative Statutory Instrument (SI), a type of legislation that can be used to push unpopular changes through Parliament with less scrutiny than a full vote on repeal would require.
This SI would lift the limit on the number of dogs used to flush out wild mammals and in doing so, with a full pack of up to 40 hounds being used, would make the Act impossible to police and undermine the legislation to such an extent it would be made toothless.
We believe the vote could take place on Wednesday 26th March so we need you to contact your MP immediately and urge them to vote against this devious attempt to bring back cruelty.
Tell your MP that you don't want a repeal by the back door. Just enter your details below and hit submit to view a template letter to your MP.
Sign an online petition.
And/or better yet, make direct contact:
INFORMATION / TALKING POINTS
Breaking News: I am writing to update you on the developing threat to the
hunting ban. We have been informed that a motion to amend the Hunting Act,
effectively legalising hunting, could be laid before Parliament within just
a few days, most likely being debated on Wednesday 26th March. The threat is
real and we have to act now.
