As part of its VOTE4ANIMALS 2010 campaign, Protecting Animals in Democracy (PAD) has decided to endorse James Abbott as the candidate best placed in Witham Constituency to protect animals from the cruelty of bloodsports, intensive farming and painful experiments.
The endorsement can be seen by visiting www.vote4animals.org.uk/constituency.htm and clicking on Witham constituency.
PAD believes that the way we treat animals is a fundamental indication of the state of our society, and 87% of the public agree, according to a YouGov opinion poll. In backing James Abbott PAD say that he has
"The character and values much needed to stand in Parliament and help restore the integrity of our political system".
James Abbott, Green Party candidate for Witham said
"I am delighted and honoured to have the endorsement of PAD. Even before I first stood as a Green Party candidate in the 1980s, I strongly believed that the way we treat animals in the UK falls well short of the standards we should be following and I have actively campaigned ever since against cruelty in intensive farming, against bloodsports and against animal experiments as well as campaigning to save animals from other forms of cruelty such as whaling.
There is so much to be done to improve animal welfare and to ensure that animal habitats are given stronger protection from the pressures brought by developers. If elected as a Green MP I would work with like-minded colleagues on an all-party basis to achieve these aims."
