My new heroes are Conservatives Against Fox Hunting, founded by Chris and Lorraine Platt, and led in the Commons by MPs Caroline Dinenage, Dominic Raab, Mike Weatherley and Simon Kirby.These brave MPs are standing by their moral conviction that hunting with dogs is cruel and inexcusable, and must never again be legal in this country.These heroes have vindicated my long-held belief that animal welfare should be above party politics. Our Save-Me campaign has from the beginning supported any MP from any party who would fight for the rights of foxes and badgers to live in peace in the countryside.Thanks to the courage of Conservatives Against Fox Hunting, the repeal of the Hunting Act has, for now at least, receded into the distance. And, contrary to the hopes of a small but noisy minority clinging to their “right” to torture animals, Boxing Day this year will dawn with blood-sports still illegal
