Prime Minister David Cameron has indicated that he wishes to see an end to the Hunting Act. This law – which is supported by the majority of the public – took decades to pass. If the law is repealed, fox, deer and hare hunting will be made legal again, and so will the horrific ‘sport’ of hare coursing.
To get rid of the Act, pro-hunt MPs must first win a vote in Parliament, and it is by no means certain that they would be successful. It is expected, therefore, that there will be a preliminary vote by MPs to see if they do actually want to vote on repealing the Act.
This preliminary vote almost certainly won’t take place before October 2010 but no date has yet been established. Both the preliminary and the actual repeal vote could take place at short notice, and one could quickly follow the other.
We must act now.
