Louth Hunt celebrate killing animals.

ANTI-HUNT DEMONSTRATION at the Louth Hunt Ball -NO TO ANIMAL ABUSE!

Four Seasons Hotel. Ballsbridge at 7pm sharp, Saturday 8th August..

Animal abuse be it legal or illegal is wrong. The AOHS cannot ignore this annual Horse Show co-ordinated event held by the Louth Hunt. It is held to raise funds for the continuance of hunting, this starts with the torture and killing of fox cubs next month in September. Hunting season is 6 months.
HUNTING IS ANIMAL ABUSE
HUNTING IS ANIMAL ABUSE

'Cubbing' is the mutilation of young foxes by surrounding a fox covert with mounted riders and baying hounds. The animals are trapped , dragged out and disembolwed.
Mainly this practise is to train new hounds for future hunting with the pack. The dogs ripping young fox cubs limb from limb is what cub-hunting is! It cannot be dressed up. The hunter’s term ‘autumn hunting’ sounds like it’s a harmless outing but in reality it’s a bloody barbaric practise….and all for fun.

We feel all animal abuse should be stopped by strict legislation. The fox is not protected, but neither is any animal in reality if a pack of blood thirsty hunters go out at dawn with a pack of hounds hell bent on killing.
‘Why should hunters have any peace when their sole aim is to kill, torture and cause suffering.
