Digging Out and Terrierwork Cruelty in Ireland

The Irish Council Against Blood Sports

For some time the Campaign for the Abolition of Terrier Work have been working closely with our colleagues in Ireland to expose the cruelty of terrier work.

It has long been known that badger baiters have been travelling over to Ireland from the UK to attack, injure and kill badgers and foxes for pleasure. We've been monitoring the so-called 'Hunting Forums' and have collected a wealth of material from Ireland which we've passed over. Some of the material is shown below.

For more information on the Ireland campaign visit the Irish Council Against Blood Sports website.

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 attack animals underground. Terrierwork is one of the cruellest so called 'sports' and should be illegal, just like dog fighting, fox hunting and badger baiting have become.

Some of the photos and videos within our website graphically illustrate the horror of foxhunting and terriermen cause to foxes, badgers and terriers. These may cause distress.
