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.
