Labour doesn’t give a hoot about animal welfare

Thursday, July 31st, 2008 | Author: News Team

THE LABOUR Government’s ban on hunting with dogs has nothing whatsoever to do with animal welfare.

No government which encourages supermarket cartels to squeeze farmers so ruthlessly that they have to resort to factory farming - rearing chickens in such appalling conditions that 100,000 die of disease, injury or stress every week - has the right to criticise fox-hunters.

No government that exalts Islam as a wonderful religion and turns a blind eye to the brutal ritual slaughter of millions of defenceless herbivores has the right to use essentially emergency legislation to protect a few thousand beautiful, but ruthless, carnivores from the possibility of being chased and caught by hounds.

Labour doesn’t care about animal welfare.

The banning of fox-hunting was about a Prime Minister under pressure, desperately trying to bribe a handful of disgruntled extreme left-wing Labour MPs to back him at the next General Election.

It’s also about old-fashioned Marxist class warfare and Labour’s great ambition - the Abolition of Britain by the systematic dismantling of its identity and traditions.
