HUNTING WILD MAMMALS

That this House believes that hunting wild mammals with dogs is cruel and barbaric and has no place in a modern Britain; acknowledges that almost two thirds of honourable and Right honourable Members from all sides of the House supported the Wild Mammals (Hunting with Dogs) Bill in the last parliamentary session; condemns the undemocratic tactics used at that time to thwart the clearly expressed will of the House and the British people; views the abolition of the voting rights of hereditary peers as a key milestone on the road to a ban on hunting; and calls upon the Government to help ensure that hunting wild mammals with dogs is outlawed as soon as it is legislatively possible to do so.
