Anti-hunt protest planned for the 26th December 2006 in Tramore Co. Waterford.

The Association of Hunt Saboteurs and BadgerWatch Ireland are holding its annual anti-hunt protest at the St. Stephen’s Day meet of the Waterford Foxhounds in Tramore Co. Waterford.

John Tierney, Campaigns Director AOHS says: “Animal rights organisations intend making animal rights an election issue in the 2007 general election.”

The Association of Hunt Saboteurs and BadgerWatch Ireland are holding its annual anti-hunt protest at the St. Stephen’s Day meet of the Waterford Foxhounds in Tramore Co. Waterford.

John Tierney, Campaigns Director AOHS says: “Animal rights organisations intend making animal rights an election issue in the 2007 general election.”

“It is time for our legislators to deal with the issue of bloodsports for once and for all. They must carry out the wishes of their electors who do not wish to have our wildlife abused and killed for entertainment.”

There is a marked increase in bloodsports activities during the festive season. Through out Ireland hunts lay on stage-managed displays of horse and hounds to feed to the general public an innocent image of their sordid activity.

Hunting with hounds is brutal activity. It exists solely for the pleasure and entertainment for those with a twisted attitude towards animals.

“Politicians will be told in no uncertain terms that they will find no support from the animal rights community if they fail to take on board our concerns about the treatment of animals”, says, John Tierney.

The Association of Hunt Saboteurs and BadgerWatch Ireland expect a large presence at this annual event and issue an invitation to those who care about animals to attend this day of action.

Information:
The demonstration on the 26th starts at 11am outside the Majestic Hotel, Tramore town centre, Co. Waterford. The Waterford Foxhounds will meet in front of this hotel before leaving for the day’s killing.
