OLD MCDONALD'S FARM AT ALTON TOWERS
EDM number 410 in 2000-01, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 07/03/2001.
That this House condemns the action taken by Alton Towers to slaughter 18 pet animals on the Old McDonald's farm attraction which included three pigs, eight goats, six sheep and a cow; notes that the action was taken on the basis of the outbreak of foot and mouth despite the fact that the animals could have been quarantined or possibly moved under a special licence; and supports the RSPCA in their investigation while calling on Alton Towers to apologise for their actions which were a clear example of putting profit before animal welfare.
This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs.
