“I am proud to say that my biggest mail bag today is from people supporting the eight hour maximum campaign for transporting live animals.  Proud because as Gandhi rightly said you can tell the humanity of any society by the way it treats other sentient creatures in its care.  My constituents care deeply about how farm animals are being treated.

Meanwhile, I am happy to say that I support and have signed the 8Hour petition calling for an 8 hour journey limit. The aim of this EU-wide campaign is to collect 1,000,000 signatures and it has already achieved the support of over 600,000 citizens.

Please, I would urge all kind-hearted Scots and people from around Europe to do likewise and sign the 8Hours petition.”
