Marjan The Lion (EDM739)

Marjan The Lion

EDM number 739 in 2001-02, proposed by Tony Banks on 28/01/2002.

That this House expresses its great sadness at the death of Marjan the Kabul Zoo lion; believes that the poor, mutilated creature came to symbolise the suffering over many years of both people and animals in Afghanistan; calls upon the new Government in Afghanistan to honour the memory of Marjan by banning cock-fighting and dog-fighting which have made an unwelcome re-appearance following the overthrow of the Taliban; and repeats its request to Her Majesty's Government to do all it can to relieve the suffering of other animals in that country.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
