Early day motion 1229, tabled 19 March 2008 by Edward O'Hara (Labour). Signed by 36 members.

That this House reaffirms its abhorrence of the practice of hunting live animals with dogs; condemns attempts to circumvent the legislation which it has passed on this matter, and in particular the practice of hunting wild animals clandestinely in urban parks such as Stadt Moers Park in Knowsley; and expresses its full support for Merseyside Police and Knowsley Council in their determination to enforce the law rigorously against those who do this.
