Campaigners write to Queen over animal welfare law delay
Tuesday 20th July 2010, 2:29PM BST.
JUSTICE SECRETARY Ken Clarke will look into the progress of Guernsey’s new animal welfare law after campaigners sent a letter to the Queen.
Promoting Animal Welfare (PAW) founder Sue Vidamour received the news in a reply from Buckingham Palace.
Her letter had expressed concerns about delays in introducing animal welfare legislation.
‘We’re delighted with her response,’ said Mrs Vidamour (pictured). ‘We wanted to bring it to Her Majesty’s attention and to see if there was anything she could, or could not, do. We’re now happy with what she has done.’

Bizarre.
Do you think she could sort out our mental health legislation, the waste disposal fiasco and Zero-10 as well??
What about if we write and complain about Lyndon Trott – do you think she could get rid of him too?
In fact, she could set up a sort of Jimm-’ll-fix-it” type office at Buck Palace and sort out all of the world’s problems. It would make a fab replacement for Britain’s Got Talent too now that Simon Cowell’s losing interest…

This is a non story. Campaigners bother the Queen, the Queen says, this is nothing to do with me, send it to the Government Department who deal with these islanders.
Doesn’t mean at all that the Queen has developed a sudden healthy interest in animal welfare and wants her government to act. Doesn’t mean that the UK Government will do anything.
A lazy lobbying trick for a cheap headline.

Don’t be lazy GP journos, your story could have equally headlined. “Campaigners over egg palace response”

i adore animals, but i am confused about the writing to the queen, when her own soldiers wear animal fur hats and she`s been asked to use something different instead of real fur and refused, when her own son was seen being cruel to one of his dogs , yet got away from rspca prosecution, and when the whole family enjoy`s the cruel sport of hunting! so can really see she`s the best person to ask!
