Shortage Of Foxes

EDM number 13 in 2004-05, proposed by Paul Flynn on 23/11/2004.

That this House agrees with Simon Hart, Chief Executive of the Countryside Alliance, that his organisation would be ridiculed in parliament on the publication of a letter sent by the Masters of Fox Hounds Association to 800 hunt masters warning of the nationwide 'shortage of foxes' and urging landowners to breed more foxes to 'solve the problem'; and welcomes this further evidence that foxhunting is unconnected with pest control but is devoted entirely to sadistic pleasure derived from the protracted torment and death of foxes.

This motion has been ammended, see 13A1.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs.
