Martin Horwood wins backing of animal rights campaign

Cheltenham's Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate Martin Horwood has won the backing of a leading animal rights campaign.

Protecting Animals in Democracy sent a questionnaire to each of the three main parties’ candidates in Cheltenham, and as a result have decided the endorse Martin as the best voting option in Cheltenham to protect millions of animals from cruelty.

Martin said: “I'm delighted by this endorsement. I wasn't in the Commons when the hunting ban was passed but I gather it took hundreds of hours of parliamentary time. I can't believe my Tory candidate really thinks it is worth re-opening all these arguments again“.
