Shortage Of Foxes (EDM330)

Shortage Of Foxes

EDM number 330 in 2015-16, proposed by Paul Flynn on 16/07/2015.
Categorised under the topic of Animal welfare.

That this House agrees with the view expressed by the Countryside Alliance that its organisation would be ridiculed in Parliament on the publication of a letter sent in 2004 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 signed by a total of 17 MPs.
