http://www.animalscount.com/2010/02/09/animals-count-meets-with-conservative-mp/

 

In the lead-up to the 2010 national elections, the political party Animals Count is meeting with other political parties and candidates to ascertain their positions on animal issues, and to encourage the adoption of pro-animal policies. In October 2009 Animals Count met with the Green Party Deputy Leader, and MEP Jean Lambert’s assistant.

 

The second of these meetings was held on 2nd February at Westminster Palace. Animals Count Leader Jasmijn de Boo, a solicitor member, and this author, met Roger Gale MP, the conservative Member for Thanet North. Roger is a founding member of Conservative Animal Welfare (CAW), which has a history dating back to 1994. CAW offers a focal point for Conservative Party members interested in animal welfare, and “recognises that animal welfare is an important political subject and is one that any Government should take seriously as it reflects the morality and ethics of the society in which we live.”
