IN Britain, we are fortunate to have some of the highest standards of animal protection in the world.
Time after time when urging foreign governments to end cruelty in their countries, our own bloodthirsty sports are thrown back in our faces.
The Bill to ban fox hunting goes before Parliament on November 28. It's the best chance Britain has to ban hunting with hounds.
Please write to Labour MP Michael Foster at the House of Commons in London, supporting his Bill.
Remove our cruel sports and it will result in a tremendous spur for international improvements in animal welfare.
