Politicians' email addresses should be on the relevant parliamentary
websites. It probably helps if you live in a marginal seat to put pressure
on - they are more likely to listen.

BA and BOCA lobby every year to ban this barbaric practise, but we are
routinely ignored in favour of the shooting lobby. Maybe mass emails are the
way to go - although opinion polls always show a majority of people want it
banned but politicians ignore them as well (as they do on many issues!)
