UK politician supports end to fox and stag hunting with hounds in UK

[Guest guest]

fwd.....

Hi everyone,

For those who missed it, last week's Foreign Correspondent did a story on

the imminent ban on fox and stag hunting with hounds in the UK. It was

reasonably balanced and interviewed people from both sides and also showed

graphic footage of foxes and stags being hunted and caught. The stag in

particular was very sad to watch. I got the impression it was bewildered

and did not really know it was being hunted until the hounds actually

attacked it. Anyway, among those interviewed was British MP Tony Banks,

who voiced his opposition to all blood sports. He did not speak like a

boring politician merely mouthing the words he had been pressured into

saying - he was passionate and spoke with conviction that it should stop and

that society today should not allow such cruel events to take place.

It isn't very often we get to say thank you to politicians, especially

politicians who speak as brilliantly as Tony Banks (except for our very own

Andrew of course!) so please drop him a line and let him know he's

appreciated across the other side of the world, and pass this onto as many

people as you can.Tony Banks' email address is

Thanks

Wendy
