Andrew Rosindell, Conservative MP and the Secretary for the Associate Parliamentary Group For Animal Welfare places our fox hunting/dog fighting comparison video on his Facebook site after meeting us in Portcullis House in March 2011. This was our second  meeting with Mr Rosindell! March 2011.

Our first video film  compares the’sport’ of dog fighting and the’sport’ of fox hunting. They share the  same principle of training dogs to be aggressive to another animal and attack it as a recreational activity. There is little to distinguish watching dogs attack dogs for a dog fighting sport or dogs attack another  wild animal for  a fox hunting sport. The only difference is the  attire , red jackets or street gear.  They share the same desire to watch an animal being set upon by a dog or dogs. Drag hunting removes the wild animal from the sport and is acceptable and the thrill of the chase is retained.

Speakers include ourselves, two Labour MPs, a Liberal Democrat Councillor, a Green party candidate and a Conservative Councillor.
