WHAT a bunch of hypocrites our MPs are. Their massive vote to end hunting with dogs made it appear that they cared.
Recent newspaper articles have highlighted the plight of the mink, killed inhumanely for the sake of fashion, plus the cruelty of puppy farms, and the testing of cosmetic ingredients on animals - the list is endless.
Michael Foster MP, a keen fisherman, who introduced this Bill, likes to be photographed cuddling a furry little fox. Perhaps he should be photographed holding aloft a squirming fish he has just dragged from the water
To Mr Foster and the other MPs who voted for this bill, I would say get your priorities right.
H WILSON, Hudson Close, Blackburn.
