I get lots of questionairres and election pledges sent through and try to answer as many as possible so people can learn a bit more about me, what I believe in, what I’d change etc. I filled in some questions from the British Association for Shooting & Conservation and I am now listed on the site as ANTI-SHOOTING/HUNTING ANIMALS.
I checked the site today……….and the other 4 candidates obviously have not bothered to fill this is as there are no responses from them. Are they pro shooting or anti shooting animals, who knows? Click here to see.

Anti shooting? That’s a shame because whilst I don’t shoot, I try to eat what I see as sustainably sourced and well treated animals. That means that venison is the only red meat available that is not subjected to herding into lorries and hauled to a distant abatoir. It’s usually dropped in a field with a single shot. Let’s agree to differ… Good luck.

Thank you for the comment Simon. I think you have an interesting point about the welfare of deer compared to the intensively factory farmed livestock.
