First, half-starve a terrier. Next, send it underground after a fox hiding from
hunters. Then, let them fight underground and each take serious injuries.
Finally, pull the terrier and fox out from underground and throw the live fox to
its death at the hands of hounds. You've now participated in a dig-out, a legal
"sport" in Ireland.
Tell Irish Parliament to ban
fox hunting dig-outs.
Fox-hunting is a cruel blood sport in any
form. But the dig-out is just about the worst type and causes serious injury and
unnecessary suffering to both foxes and the terriers used by hunters.
Dig-outs serve absolutely no purpose other than entertaining people with
a warped sense of what's fun. Because the foxes are so mangled in the process,
their fur isn't even usable. This is the 21st century -- it's time governments
took a stand against cruelty for cruelty's sake.
Tell Parliament to put an
end to dig-outs.
