Hunt Saboteurs fights for hunting ban in Ireland

THE Association of Hunt Saboteurs has called on the Government to follow the lead of the British parliament and legislate for a ban on hunting in Ireland.

The animal rights group said the British decision had galvanised its campaign to bring an end to fox hunting in this country.

“This gives us a greater incentive to continue our campaign, we honestly believe that hunting will be banned here,” said John Tierney, campaigns director of Hunt Saboteurs Ireland.
