Guest MOLLY Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 SOME VIEWING FOR SUNDAY 1 Countryfile BBC 1 Sun 12 Feb, 10:55 am - 11:55 am Charlotte Smith asks whether the hunting *** really made a difference. SOME VIEWING FOR SUNDAY 2 "The last Tally-Ho" from BBC 1 Sun 12 Feb 10.15pm to 11.15pm “Documentary telling the inside story of a traditional hunt and how it has been affected by the *** on hunting. It follows the men and women of Gloucestershire's Vale of White Horse Hunt over a year, from the last legal hunt to the opening meet of the first season under the new law.†BE VIGILANT The next two weeks will see a spate of telephone and 'on-line' polls. Please look out for these and send to afh@foxhunters.net. Let me know when the polls close, the full question and all possible responses. TAIL DOCKING Before the 8th March, it is vital that MPs are made aware of the negative animal welfare implications of an outright *** on tail-docking. Write to your MP NOW. This link http://tinyurl.com/bmx6x will take you to the CA's briefing on this issue. The next link will take you to the BASC advice http://www.basc.org.uk/content/lobby_your_mp_now_to_supp This includes a downloadable postcard. AfH's advice is to use the picture, cut from the postcard and put this into the envelope with your letter. MPs are more likely to dismiss pre-printed submissions. ICONS Keep going - we can win this! http://www.icons.org.uk/nom/nominations/fox-hunting You can, in fact, vote or leave comments for more than one icon. The Fox has been nominated - why not leave a comment: http://www.icons.org.uk/nom/nominations/fox-the making it clear that the fox is a pest across huge swathes of the world and that it only belongs as an icon within the cultural setting of fox-hunting. Perhaps include a homage to Charlie showing respect for the animal but defending the right to hunt it, and maybe pointing out that a healthy fox may be a beautiful animal but more often they are sickly, scavenging, cruel etc. (Thank you Carlo) An excellent comment from the foxhunting icons page is at the foot of this mail. SOME READING Rural Rites Out on 14th February £9.99 (plus £1.50 P&P) Rural Rites provides a riveting account of the 2004 Hunting Act and its troubled history. Written by the environmental journalist Charlie Pye-Smith, it argues that the Act is illogical, unfair and virtually impossible to enforce. Instead of improving animal welfare, it may well do the exact opposite. Rural Rites shows how many politicians were guided more by class-war prejudices than by an intelligent analysis of the available facts. They deliberately ignored or misused science to further their cause, as did leading animal rights organisations and some of their expert witnesses. Rural Rites examines exactly what the Hunting Act does and doesn’t do through discussions with hunting people, animal welfare experts and politicians. It also provides a positive solution to this acrimonious issue – one which improves animal welfare and respects individual liberty. For ordering details please contact The Middle Way Group mailto:mail@themiddlewaygroup.org.uk A COMMENT FROM THE ICONS SITE Strained ancient faces of a jeopardised tradition, In a society of Labour, law and condition. The thrill of the chase, community joy, Cancelled by a desperate political ploy. The death, irrelevant, rare and no necessity, Think of the livelihoods, how selfish can you be? Keep the spirit of the countryside alive, ? The glory of the bees that skip and run and hide? They only kill the old, weak foxes and stops their suffering and pain. This harmless pest control, or thousands of hounds slain? The violent, animal rights activists contradict themselves, No right no wrong, the answer won't come from books on shelves. Lying labour have not delivered any of their promised word, They cheated us all, nothings done they have just pointlessly inferred. Ingrained in hearts for many centuries past, Labour is killing Britain with British culture fading fast. So join Britain, join the hunt, and join the Countryside Alliance, Stand up for what is right, be true to Britain and show some defiance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
