Tories want to repeal the Hunting Act

[raynaputi]

I wonder if there's a similar petition in the Philippines to ban cock fighting

The petition is not about the Philippines... Although I know a lot of animal charities in the Philippines who do their best to protect and fight for the animals rights (I used to donate to them when I could still afford it). Considering the UK is a 1st world country and as lots of you here say, is not barbaric like the rest of the 3rd world, your elected government is willing to do this just to please their rich friends and benefactors.

There has been a hunting meeting (or whatever you call that) a few months ago here where we live and I can't stop Keith using expletives as we passed them by!

I was asking a question, not picking a fight

If I had asked if there was a similar petition about bull fighting in Spain or Mexico, I wonder if you would have reacted so strongly

Yes, I've signed a petition in the past.

A lot of areas in Spain have now banned bull fighting due to public pressure.

There is a lot of cock fighting in this country, as they are all dicks in the Houses of Parliament
