Michael Gove signals his green epiphany won’t extend to banning trail hunting!

“I am delighted to launch the Year of Green Action. Over the next 12 months we will work with businesses and communities to create ways for people from all backgrounds to connect with nature, protect our environment, and contribute to restoring our natural world. As the future stewards of our planet, children and young people have a vital role to play in this. The £10million boost outlined today will help ensure there are no barriers for young people to access the benefits of the natural world and importantly enable them to play their part in environmental protection.”

Hurrah! But…..

Stephen Hepburn MP asks if Govt will beef up Hunting Act to introduce prison sentences to deter people taking place in these barbaric sports. @michaelgove says there is a clear legislative framework following on from the ban & that this Govt has no intention of changing that ban pic.twitter.com/bi8Ztv4tsc
