THE League Against Cruel Sports is mounting the biggest campaign this country has ever seen.

The time has come for MPs to stand up. Hunting is an issue that crosses political divides.

MPs from all parties, must be in the Commons on November 28. To use dogs for hunting and to encourage them to pursue and attack foxes, deer, mink and hares is fundamentally cruel.

About 100,000 wild animals are killed every year by these barbaric methods. It is unnecessary and causes unacceptable levels of suffering.
