We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to repeal the Hunting Act 2004. More details
Submitted by Nick Onslow FRES – Deadline to sign up by: 15 November 2007 – Signatures: 43,870
Petitioners know that The Hunting Act 2004: has done nothing for animal welfare; threatens livelihoods in the longer term; ignores the findings of Lord Burn's Enquiry; gives succour to animal rights extremists; is based on political expedience following the Prime Minister's unconsidered response on the television programme Question Time in 1999; is framed to persecute a large minority who support a traditional activity; does not command popular support in the country except amongst the uninformed and mal-advised.
