I have written to the tories asking them what they will do with the hunting ban if they get into power. I think I already knew, but now I have it in writing, together with an article from their shadow secretary of state for the environment, which is supposed to 'reassure' me - they will try to bring back hunting if they get in.
I know the ban is not as good as it should be but we waited YEARS for this, and now it is on the statute book, and hopefully, in time, can be strengthened. I find it utterly depressing that after only a very short time, it could become legal again. Can I urge everyone PLEASE to write to David Cameron and express concerns, and certainly take every opportunity to get your views across in the run up to the general election when the tories will be desperate for your vote. Every letter counts.
Even if they don't take it out of their game plan, it might be pushed further down the agenda if enough people let them know how unpopular it is with 'ordinary' people...
