New ICABS leaflet exposes deerhunting cruelty
A new leaflet published by the Irish Council Against Blood Sports documents some of the horrendous suffering caused to deer by the Ward Union hunt. The leaflet has been brought to the attention of all Ireland's TDs as part of our appeal to them to support legislation banning the hunt.
The leaflet shows how deer suffer during Ward Union hunts and details casualties and fatalities based on
data obtained from the NPWS and Veterinary Inspectors from the Department of Agriculture.
"We hope that having read the leaflet and watched our video footage evidence that you and your party will support the legislation to outlaw the Ward Union," ICABS stated in an email to TDs. "Your support will be welcomed by the majority of the electorate who abhor animal cruelty and want blood sports ended in Ireland."
