The weekends fiasco led by the Countryside Alliance urging people to
break the law and defy a hunting ban, has the whole country up in
arms. The CA have been at the forefront of pro hunt to the dire cost
of other countryside issues of great concern to country folk, these
people are now urging each other to dump the CA or lose all
credibility forever.

76% Say Hunters Should Obey Law

This Saturday November 1st, the start of the foxhunting season,
hunters will be gathering around the country to declare their
intention to break the law once hunting is banned.



However, once again the pro-hunt lobby has proved that it is out of
step with public opinion. A MORI poll released today reveals that 76%
of people in Britain believe that hunters should not defy a ban.*



CPHA views this latest stunt by the pro-hunt lobby encouraging people
to break the law as highly irresponsible. That some hunters may be
prepared to commit a crime in order to practise their barbaric sport
shows a complete disregard for the democratic process and the views of
ordinary British people.



Hunting Bill dies in the House of Lords

Earlier this week, Peers predictably defied the will of the House of
Commons again by amending the Government's Hunting Bill (as amended by
MPs in June to a total ban on hunting) to allow hunting with dogs to
continue under licence.



The Bill has now fallen in the House of Lords after it ran out of time
during its Committee Stage. The Government must now fulfil its
manifesto pledge to resolve the hunting issue. They must reintroduce
the Bill in the next parliamentary session so that the Parliament Act
can be used to enable the Hunting Bill to become law without the
consent of the Lords.



CPHA wants the Government to announce the reintroduction of the
Hunting Bill in the Queen’s Speech on 26th November.





TAKE ACTION TO BRING BACK THE BILL

Last week, Tony Banks MP tabled an Early Day Motion (EDM) – a
statement that MPs can sign – urging the Government to reintroduce the
Bill. So far 153 MPs have signed the EDM. We need as many MPs as
possible to show their support and sign the petition:

To see whether your MP has signed click here. (If you are not sure who
your MP is you can find out by visiting www.locata.co.uk/commons.)

If your MP is not on the list please take the time to email them by
clicking here
Or call them directly at the House of Commons on 020 7219 3000.
Or you can write to them at the House of Commons, London SW1A OAA
You may like to include the following points in your correspondence:

Urge them to sign EDM no. 1800
Remind them that the majority of the public think hunting is cruel
(80% Mori 2002)
Urge them to press ahead with a total ban on hunting - the only
acceptable outcome to this issue
Your action on this issue is greatly appreciated and can really help
us win this campaign.



Many thanks for your continued support

..........personally I believe that the anti-hunt lobby should take part in
organised trespass (without wilful damage or theft) of the properties of
those hunting illegally, then present themselves at the police station at
the same time as the hunt gives itself up to the law for their illegal
hunting. Now that would really confuse the pro-hunting lobby. Imagine the
queue for the cells.
