THE Government has introduced a new Hunting Bill.

As it stands, this Bill will outlaw some forms of hunting with dogs - such as hare coursing and deer hunting - but foxhunting is likely to continue in certain areas.

The RSPCA believes this will allow thousands of animals to continue to suffer and is pushing for a total ban on all hunting with dogs. To achieve this, MPs must vote to amend the Bill - and we need your help.

Please write to your MP today urging them to vote for a complete ban.You can write to your MP at House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA. Alternatively, you can contact you MP via our Lobby your MP page, at: http://www.rspca.org.uk/banhunting
