We've received the message below from the North West Hunt Saboteurs Association.
Please contact your local candidates, using the link provided.
We
at Greyhound Action are no lovers of the Labour government, owing to
their general failure to
protect animals and their vicious persecution of animal liberation activists.
We
do, however, support the ban on hunting with dogs and would like to
see it strengthened, extended
and much more rigorously enforced, with far harsher penalties (all the
way up to life imprisonment for the worst
offenders).
Don't
forget that it isn't just wild animals that are the victims of hunting.
Thousands of dogs
(including greyhounds and lurchers used for coursing) are put to death
every year when no longer
wanted by the hunters.

Subject: Help secure the hunting ban
The 18th November marked the fifth anniversary of the Royal Assent of
the 2004 Hunting Act.
It
was a day on which this country made a clear statement that hunting
with dogs had no place in
modern Britain.
But
not everyone was pleased. There are those who've been lobbying for the
ban's repeal since day
one. They think they're getting closer to their aim but you can help
stop them in their tracks.

to send a message to your local candidates, asking whether they support
the return of this barbaric
practice
Those
who want to see the return of the grotesque spectacle of hounds tearing
foxes apart think that
they can do so despite opposition from the British people.
They
know the public don't support using dogs to tear foxes apart - and they
know that they can only
make progress by keeping quiet about their aims and lobbying behind
the scenes.
Together we can expose their plans and bring public pressure to bear to stop this happening.
Thanks
