Re complaining about animal issues in Australia and UK

[Guest guest]

>>The idea of feeding up foxes for the 'game' of hunting

is absolutely disgraceful! What can I do about it to help?

 

*****************************

Hi ,

You can do several things to help.

(1)Firstly, write to Prime Minister Tony Blair, No 10 Downing St.,London,

Britain, United Kingdom and ask him to ban hunting.

Also tell him you think many of the English hunting fraternity

are sadists and hunting animals is not a " sport "

but a cruel pastime. It is not sporting to chase and kill defenceless

animals. The animals do not have the capabilities of shooting back

or such do they. (Scotland has already banned hunting animals with dogs).

 

(2)Are you aware of the Game Bill that politicians are debating in NSW?

When other civilised countries are

debating banning hunting, NSW wants to go the opposite way

and legalise this cruel " sport " ! This will legalise the hunting of animals

with dogs etc here in Australia. Dogs often tear the hunted

animal apart while it is still alive. You will find all the information you

want about this together with a letter you can send at

Re RSPCA condemns Roo Slaughter

Animal welfare groups today labelled the planned cull of 40,000 kangaroos

on the Puckapunyal military base north of Melbourne, a cruel and

unnecessary slaughter that could have been avoided with better wildlife

management.RSPCA president Dr Hugh Wirth, detailed recommendations made to

the> defence department some 15 years ago that he said

had been ignored to the detrimentof the area's kangaroo population,

estimated by defence officials as numbering 80,000.full
