Hunting Act Repeal Petition |

On 13th November the
government launched an exciting new initiative to
enable petitions to be delivered directly to the
Prime Minister via an online service. E-petitions
are essentially no different to the traditional
paper versions that have been delivered by post or
handed to 10 downing Street for many years. But
petitioners will now be able to reach greater
numbers than ever before by connecting people across
the web and allowing them to sign up.
Hunt campaigner Nick Onslow has
set up a petition to support the fight for a repeal
to the hunting act. This petition already has
more than four times more signatures than any other
and is growing rapidly. It takes less
than a minute to fill in the form, you will need to
give a valid email address and verify receipt of an
email to it, for your vote to be counted. You will
also need to give your address but this information
will not be made public. |

The
petition is worded as follows:
Petitioners know that The Hunting Act 2004: has done
nothing for animal welfare; threatens livelihoods in
the longer term; ignores the findings of Lord Burn's
Enquiry; gives succour to animal rights extremists;
is based on political expedience following the Prime
Minister's unconsidered response on the television
programme Question Time in 1999; is framed to
persecute a large minority who support a traditional
activity; does not command popular support in the
country except amongst the uninformed and
mal-advised |

Is there any
point?
Supporters of our rural
traditions may rightly feel aggrieved that the
largest protest march ever at that point in time to
have taken place was ignored by the government, and
perhaps some may be feeling that their views will
not be heeded. However, much has happened since
400,000 of us walked through the streets of London
to show our support for our traditional rural way of
life, and we should not miss an opportunity to stand
up and be counted once more.
