SHADOW environment secretary Maria Eagle vowed yesterday there would no more badger badgering under a Labour government.
Ms Eagle outlined the opposition’s six-point commitment towards animal protection on the 10 year anniversary of the fox-hunting ban, while the Tories are rumoured to plan a repeal of the Hunting Act.
Among other key tasks, Labour promised to ban the use of animals in circuses and tighter regulations on breeding and sale of cats and dogs.
“The last Labour government achieved much to end the cruel and unnecessary suffering of animals, the banning of hunting with dogs, securing an end to cosmetic testing on animals, banning fur farming and introducing the Animal Welfare Act 2006,” said Ms Eagle.
