FROM THE HUNT SABOTEURS - ABOUT THE BAN ON TRAIL HUNTING
View this email in your browser
Hi, Supporter
FIVE WEEKS TO GO – CHRIS PACKHAM URGES YOU TO COMPLETE THE TRAIL HUNTING CONSULTATION!
Last Saturday, Hunt Sabs were out in force in Central London, joining hundreds of others to hear Chris Packham urge the government to get on with the ban on so-called trail hunting.
Chris and friends urge you to complete the consultation!
Describing the practice as “hideous and sociopathic” Chris said:
“I’m now 65-years old, and I cannot believe that I’m standing here, and this is still going on. We elected a government with a massive majority and a manifesto pledge to stop fox hunting. But two years into that term of government, and nothing has happened.”
Hunt sabs flags dominated the skyline.
Before Chris, the crowd heard from several other speakers. First up were the Badger Trust who reminded the crowd that badgers are often the ‘forgotten victims’ of fox hunting – frequently being buried alive when hunt terriermen block their setts to deprive hunted foxes of a refuge.
An impressive line-up of speakers.
Next up a speaker outlined West Mids Hunt Sabs incredibly successful campaign against the Warwickshire Hunt – sabbing every meet and exposing corruption at the highest level of Warwickshire police. She was followed by long-time friend of the HSA, actor Peter Egan, who was moved to tears as he recounted the horrors inflicted on animals by trophy hunters and fox hunters.
Hunt sabs make their feelings known at Parliament.
Peter was followed by the great Megan McCubbin. Megan spoke about ‘Operation Smokescreen’ where her and Chris have bravely live streamed from several hunts. Megan spoke about the many stresses involved and praised the efforts of hunt sabs who attend hunts week-in, week out.
Mendip Hunt Sabs banner says it all.
All of the speakers were united in their message: the consultation is the best chance
we will ever have to get rid of the smokescreen of trail hunting and make the Hunting Act fit for purpose.
Thank you to the League Against Cruel Sports for organising the rally.
Please make YOUR voice heard and fill in the consultation today!
