CLOSE SEASON FOR HARE SHOOTING

Early day motion 15, tabled 9 May 2012 by Adrian Sanders (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 37 members.

That this House deplores the shooting of hares throughout their breeding season as cruel and unnecessary; notes that in Scotland the brown hare and mountain hare now have close seasons to protect nursing mothers and their dependent young; and calls on the Government to confer similar protection on these icons of the British countryside.
