Mike Weatherley, the Conservative MP for Hove and Portslade, has hand-delivered a letter to the Prime Minister at Downing Street, reaffirming his support for the Hunting Act 2004, which banned hunting with dogs.
Mike is a strong supporter of animal welfare and has pledged to vote against any attempt to repeal the Hunting Act. He has consistently voted in favour of animal rights and has supported a number of campaigns for better treatment of animals in the UK.
The Hunting Act 2004 was introduced following public outrage that cruel sports were taking place across the country. Mike regularly meets with animal campaigners and is a Member of Conservatives against Fox Hunting.
Mike said: “I wanted to deliver my letter to the Prime Minister by hand to highlight that my support of the ban on hunting with dogs has been unwavering – it’s cruel and should stay banned. I felt that it was important to remind the Prime Minister that there is no appetite locally for a ban and that I would vote against any attempt to alter or repeal it.”
