Hunt group says hunting is "very much under threat"
16 December 2011

A hunting group has acknowledged that bloodsports continue to be "very much under threat" in Ireland. A spokesperson for the Hunting Association of Ireland said that hunting activities are in danger even though the Green Party is no longer represented in government.

In a 2011 newsletter, HAI chairman, Donal Boyle, stated: "Many may feel with the demise of the Green influence in government that the danger has receded, but nothing could be further from the truth."

He stressed that hunting is "very much under threat from those who oppose our sport".

Please continue supporting the ICABS campaign and helping to increase the threat to hunting until it is finally banned.

How you can increase the threat to hunting

Get active today and help bring hunting to an end in Ireland.

• Demand that your local Dail representatives act to bring blood sports to an end. If your local TD is pro-bloodsports, tell him/her that you will not be voting for them at the next election.
• If you are a landowner, make your land strictly off-limits to hunts. Encourage all your neighbours to do the same. Find out more on our Landowners page. If a hunt trespasses on your land, contact the Gardai.
