On August 3rd Otis Ferry, the 19-year-old son of rock star Bryan Ferry, was arrested while attempting to plaster pro-hunting stickers over the windows of Tony Blair's constituency home in Trimden, Co Durham.   He was protesting against the Labour government's plans to prohibit hunting with dogs.  

"I felt I was not doing enough to try to save hunting" he said.  "I haven't done anything wrong and I am certainly not going to be dissuaded by what happened."

Ferry works as an amateur whipper-in for the Middleton hunt in Yorkshire.   

"I feel strongly that, during this so-called 'consultation' into hunting, the more disruption is made by people showing their true feelings of anger, the more likely the Government is to take their concerns on board," he went on. "It's no good acting after the issue has been decided."

Too right, Otis!   We've elected you iGreens' celebrity of the week.  Carry on the good fight.
