Swedish Destruction Of Tortoises (EDM296)

Swedish Destruction Of Tortoises

EDM number 296 in 1996-97, proposed by Tony Banks on 03/12/1996.

That this House condemns the action of the Swedish customs and agricultural authorities for their callous and brutal treatment of 1,000 Horsfield's tortoises frozen to death on 24th October after being impounded at Arlanda airport in Stockholm; calls for an explanation from the Swedish authorities as to why offers from the Tortoise Trust and SAS airlines to transport the animals back to Tadzjikistan were totally ignored; demands to know if it is the policy of the Swedish authorities routinely to destroy all animals seized in similar circumstances; and calls for action to be taken against those responsible for this criminal destruction of 1,000 harmless creatures.

This motion has been signed by a total of 50 MPs.
