What in hell's name is a hunt saboteur?
What do we do?
How do I get involved?

Hunt saboteurs (or 'sabs') are just ordinary people who think that ripping up mammals for fun is morally abhorrent and are sickened by the activities of the hunt. If you don't like hunting DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Ignore the lies that the media tell you: We sabotage hunts peacefully because we care about animals-and that includes human animals. So JOIN US.

The idea is to stop the hounds catching the hunted animal. We use harmless lemon sprays to dull the animal's scent and crack whips, blow horns and shout to distract the hounds. We care about the hounds and horses as much as the fox or hare or any other animal. We also sabotage other bloodsports such as grouse-shooting. Come and see a hunt first hand and decide for yourself what 'liberty and livelihood' is really all about.

We need YOUR help. You could do a stall for us..here's one we did at Womad. This helps to raise both awareness and money. We need sabs in the fields as much as we need financial aid to pay for leaflets, petrol, vehicle maintenance, to name just a few. Sabs pay to go sabbing, pay for mobile phones, pay for transport, pay for maps; it's a costly business, but with YOUR HELP we can spread that cost. So come sabbing-JUST DO SOMETHING.
