Close Season For Hare Shooting

EDM number 11 in 2014-15, proposed by Adrian Sanders on 04/06/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Animal welfare and Animals.

That this House deplores the shooting of hares throughout their breeding season as cruel and unnecessary; notes that in Scotland the brown hare and mountain hare now have close seasons to protect nursing mothers and their dependant young; and calls on the Government to confer similar protection on these icons of the British countryside.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
