ANOTHER FROM THE HUNT SABS

 

View this email in your browser Hi,  Horror In The Hills As Stag Hunting Season Begins Yesterday morning, Mendip and North Dorset Hunt Sabs tried to stop the Quantock Stag Hounds from killing a magnificent stag at the start of the new hunting season.  The stag was chased from the lowlands of Weacombe up onto the hills, crossing the steep slopes of several combes with hunt and hounds in pitiless pursuit.  GRAPHIC IMAGE Quantock Stag Hounds bring horror to the hills.  The stag became visibly tired and disoriented near Den's Combe, panting as he walked backwards and forwards through gorse, not knowing where to go to escape. Leering hunt followers who lined the hills relayed the stag's location as he collapsed with exhaustion, unable to continue any further.  GRAPHIC IMAGE Inept hunters try to load the dead stag onto the quad bike.  Sabs bravely ran towards the gunman to try to intervene as he approached the stag but could not get close enough before the shot rang out. The stag was then stabbed in the neck, sending a torrent of blood pouring onto the gorse. Then, as the stag’s body was dragged onto a quad bike, shame-faced hunters tried unsuccessfully to block the view of sab cameras. GRAPHIC IMAGE The dead stag - note stab wound to the neck. The Quantock Stag Hounds claim that this outrage – which will be repeated week-in, week-out until April – is legal because it constitutes ‘research and observation’ under the terms of a loophole in the Hunting Act. This ludicrous claim is just one reason that the Labour government must immediately strengthen the Hunting Act. Until that time, hunt sabs will stop the cruelty and killing whenever they can.
