DIGGING OUT

The Campaign for the Abolition of Terrier Work (CATW) exposes the cruelty of digging out foxes and the injuries also inflicted on terriers. We are seeking legislation in the UK and Ireland outlawing the use of terriers to terrorise animals underground. Terrierwork is one of the cruellest so called 'sports' and should be illegal in any civilised society.

Some of our photos and videos graphically illustrate the horror of foxhunting and terrier work. These may cause distress.

Huntsman and terrierman guilty

Posted by CATW | 12 Jan 2011 | Comments (1)

Welcome to our first blog, which just happens to occur on the day that Derek Hopkins, huntsman, and Kevin Allen, terrierman, both of the Fernie Hunt, were found guilty under the Hunting Act and Protection of Badgers Act following five day trial.

Video footage from the League Against Cruel Sports showed hounds of the Fernie Hunt ‘marking’ the spot where a fox had escaped into an active badger sett. Several minutes later, Allen is seen arriving on a quad bike, and he begins to dig down to the fox, before it bolts and the hounds follow.

Congratulations to the League Against Cruel Sports and especially to their monitors.
