CRUELTY AGAINST ANIMALS

Early day motion 304, tabled 16 December 2008 by Bob Spink (Independent). Signed by 38 members.

That this House notes that the video, posted on the internet by Animal Saviours, graphically shows the skinning alive of dogs for the fur trade and depicts some of the most outrageous, horrific and utterly disgusting acts of cruelty that can ever have been perpetrated; suggests that hon. Members would be well advised not to look at the video as it is likely to cause serious trauma; and calls on the Government to make diplomatic representations to China on this practice and to bring forward legislative proposals to ban products manufactured using such practices.

Signatures by party: Labour 25, Liberal Democrat 6, DUP 2, Independent 2, Conservative 1, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1.
