News Release 1st February 2006ANIMAL WELFAREMichael Fabricant has co sponsored a Bill which received its first reading yesterday (31st January) which would prevent the sale of endangered animals over the internet. The Bill was introduced by Mark Pritchard, the Conservative MP for the Wrekin. Michael says "It is possible to buy leopards, zebras, sea turtles, chimpanzees, American Bald Eagles, mountain lions, macaws and many more endangered species over the internet. The Bill which I have co-sponsored would prevent their sale over the internet and help protect endangered species. Internet service providers and search engines like Google have an important role to play in preventing this evil trade." The Bill will appear before the House again in May, but is unlikely to become law immediately owing to lack of Parliamentary time. |
