Saturday January 03, 2009 00:28 by Bernie Wright - Association of Hunt Saboteurs(AOHS) PO Box 4734. Dublin.1
Todays ward union meet at 12am at Cabragh Lodge co dublin. The Association of Hunt Saboteurs (AOHS) today witnessed the chased stag at 1pm distressed and disorientated on a road whilst trying to evade the hounds. Regulations set by the Dept of the Environment state the stag must have a 2 kilometer or 30 minute head start. ‘The stag passed our car and we did our best to keep hounds and followers behind us to let the stag rest. It is so upsetting that minister John Gormley has allowed this to continue, it is legalised anim al abuse.’ |
