mick miller Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 The question is; what's the new environment ministers stance on shooting and animal welfare? "Mrs Villiers, a former MEP and MP for Chipping Barnet in London since 2005, was Northern Ireland Secretary between 2012 and 2016. She has campaigned on animal welfare issues, including supporting CIWF’s campaign to ‘End the cage’ and ending live exports. She is a supporter of the Conservative Animal Welfare Foundation."

Pigeon Shredder. Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Don’t suppose the shooting organisation’s know who she is yet, let alone have been in contact. After all it’s only 14:00 hr’s, they will still be having lunch 🤫 Edited July 25, 2019 by Pigeon Shredder. Error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greylag Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 She is pro badger cull and was against fox hunting but since 2017 has become pro hunting.Give her chance to settle in ,no doubt the shooting organisations will be getting keen to find out where she stands on shooting.I'll bet our little friends from WJ will be eager to bend her ear.

panoma1 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 I understand Therese Coffey and George Eustace have been appointed to her team? If so I think that bodes well for shooting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
