Description

Peter Murphy interviews Labour MP, Kevin McNamara, following the narrow defeat in the House of Commons of his bill designed to outlaw the hunting of animals for sport. In an emotional debate, supporters claimed the use of hounds to kill foxes was sadistic while opponents argued that it helped pest-control and was a countryside tradition. McNamara says the fight to ban hunting will continue.
