Hunt saboteurs, hunt violence and dealing with the authorities |
Alfie Moon |
Throughout the 53 year history of the Hunt Saboteurs Association, anti-hunt activists have been subjected to extreme violence by the hunt community. The presentation includes some examples of this, along with our strategies for avoiding or minimizing the risks, and how we deal with the aftermath when violence does occur. Aggression and violence by the hunters also brings us into contact with the Police and Government lawyers. Our relationship with the authorities has always been very difficult, and the presentation will examine some of the difficulties we have encountered. |
