eventual government reply

[wink hound 0]

if this has been up before i apolagise but if it hasent......

 

this was the evtual respose the government has given all those thousands of people that signed the online pertition....

 

The UK Government is satisfied with the effectiveness of the Hunting Act 2004, which bans all hunting of wild mammals with dogs, apart from the tightly-drawn exemptions set out in the Act. These exemptions are recognised as effective ways of dealing with specific pest control issues.

 

The purpose of the Act, which the House of Commons passed by an overwhelming majority, is to end a practice that a clear majority of people across the country oppose on the grounds that it causes unnecessary suffering.

 

The Hunting Act does not prevent hunts from meeting up or riding with their hounds, nor does it preclude legitimate and humane pest control activities. Since the ban came into effect, evidence has shown that the majority of hunts have continued to meet and ride within the law. The Government welcomes this, as it has meant that the economic, social and welfare problems predicted by opponents of the Act have not materialised.

 

The Government has no plans to repeal the Act.

 

draw your own conclusions......... all i can say is, what is the f*****g point of them setting up a media to voice our opions in a countable way then ignoring them!!

i think we should start another petition and send the link to all the hunting sites........... any body knw how to start one?

[spade 224]

Of course they won't repeal it. IMHO these petitions are just another PR exercise. Does anyone know if they have actually acted on any of them. I doubt it.

 

Anyway they're far too busy tring to sort out the latest cash scandals and find the lost discs. They're now offering £20000 for the safe return of the discs which I heard today have details on them that can identify people under witness protection schemes.

 

It gets better and better
