Now my hand-ins are finally completely, I’ve got time to think about what I want to do for the future.
Although I have a very busy schedule over the summer of working on musicals and having a job, I’ve decided I need to start using my voice for something good.
I’ve always been an strongly opinionated person, but often I have kept my opinions, my voice quiet. After 2 years of university, I feel I’ve developed my confidence and realised, I am as important as anyone else.
I’ve thought about getting involved in something I truly wanted to fight against for a long time, and now I’m at university and gaining my confidence it has made more and more sense every day.
I have chosen to look into campaigning for something I feel is very important in this day and age, and needs to be discussed. There are so many overlooked issues involving animals, both domesticated and wild.
What triggered my decision to fight for animal rights was due to the recent election. Personally, I voted for a party I felt was not only going to look out for the welfare of citizen of the country, but I also felt would protect the many species of this fine country and the earth itself. And I felt, that the elections brought in a party that would not offer this protection. So now it’s time that we have to protect them ourselves as respectful caring animal lovers.
The recent strain on our animals are the consideration by the government to repeal the Hunting ban 2004. This, for those of you unaware, means that Cameron is asking the government, if they would like to lift the hunting ban, allowing hunters to kill animals at their will.
The act of hunting goes back in British history, as a sport. Hunters would send out packs of dogs, to sniff out and chase down foxes and various other animals. Then, the dogs would either present their winnings and be ordered to rip the animal to shreds, or the hunter will begin the peal off the animals skin whilst they scream for mercy. They will then take roughly 10 minutes to finally die off.
Many hunters have expressed that this ‘sport’ is used to control the population. Yet, foxes have infact been bred to be sent out into the hunters grounds and murdered. If that isn’t bad enough, there is even a cub season, where only cubs are sent out into the grounds, being hunted down.
Defenceless creatures are being hunted down, not for food, not for our safety but simply for pleasure, and it needs to stop. Allowing the repeal to take place will only allow humans to go further, until eventually we are so detached to our sympathetic side, that we will begin to kill humans as if it’s a ‘sport’
So, as my first blog on my fight for animal rights, I would like readers to take into consideration their opinions on this matter.
Would you allow people to hunt and kill animals for pleasure?
Would you be the killer that rips the skin off these precious animals?
Or will you be the person who fights for these animals, when they can’t fight for themselves?
Help us fight against the repeal, and tell the conservatives that they can’t do this to our animals, because natures beauty is more innocent and caring than human nature, and we need to learn from that.
Here is a link where you can sign the petition to help stop the repeal…

If you do wish to continue taking action, and live in the UK, maybe find out what your local MPs feel about the repeal, afterall they are the people who are voting for the decision to be made.
