Bear Baiting In Pakistan

EDM number 390 in 1998-99, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 04/03/1999.

That this House notes with disgust that the incidence of bear baiting in the Punjab region of Pakistan is still a problem even though it was banned by the Pakistan Government in 1993; notes the serious damage and suffering that bear baiting inflicts on the bears and the dogs which are used to fight against them; further notes that there are only 300 bears left in the wilds of Pakistan because of this cruel and barbaric sport; and calls upon the Pakistan Government, the United Kingdom Government and other nations to join forces to ensure that this sport is completely eradicated.

This motion has been signed by a total of 82 MPs.
