Neil Duncan-Jordan, MP for Poole, has warned that loopholes in current laws are allowing fox hunting to continue under different names despite the 2005 ban.

He has written to Angela Eagle, the new minister for rural affairs, urging her to act β€œbefore another season of suffering.”

No recognition for the serious plight of our natural world, intent on destroying what's left. Sacrificing something, without knowledge or understanding because its easy. ended for ever. The words irresponsibility springs to mind along with labours mass extinction.

Yet again a farmer taking the initiative and winning the fight against bovine TB, while DEFRA pontificate and can kick to oblivion. Who is best serving the farming industry, pioneers like this or a complicit DEFRA to an industry in denial and its representation.

"some people will disagree" is a total understatement of the rage. After pictures of the nesting cliffs covered in dead gannets hit by bird flue. What on earth are you thinking. This is an inexcusable ecocide. Once more not fit to have the responsibility springs to mind.

Wanton act, not that of custodial professional responsibility. Or even an act expectant of those in which we gave our trust. As biodiversity further declines our world stepping that little bit closer to a silent unsustainability, for an environment that is good for our wildlife is also good for us.

Labour the custodians of our natural world. Instead of nurturing its depleted survivors it has chosen to facilitate its unimpeded destruction. With a display of ignorant, arrogant, distain for its very survival, for what right has a bat or newt to exist, in the way of humanity.

Labour MP Sam Rushworth says he loves wildlife, yet defends grouse shooting after a Β£10k donation from moorland gamekeepers. Hypocrisy much!

You can't keep killing badgers while tolerant of a cattle disease, the source to both each other and to wildlife, where its stated purpose, β€œfor disease control is constantly being thwarted by that tolerance, and for which killing another species can never be a solution.
