Bloodbath at the GPO at 1pm Wed 25th July

by Bernie Wright - Association of Hunt Saboteurs

On Wednesday, a colourful novelty protest calling for a ban on blood sports will be staged in front of the GPO in O’Connell Street, Dublin.

A glamorous young woman dressed in red white and black hunting outfit will bathe publicly in a large tub filled with “blood”. The protest commences at 1.15 pm on Wednesday July 25th and continues for an hour. This will represent an excellent photo opportunity so we invite you to send along a photographer.

It will be organised by the Association of Hunt Saboteurs and the Campaign for the Abolition of Cruel Sports.

This eye-catching and thought-provoking spectacle will symbolise the savage cruelty and bloodletting of the hunting season, during which foxes, stags, and hares are hounded for sport in the countryside.

Members of animal groups will form a backdrop to the main theme, holding provocative banners and placards.

The timing of this protest is significant: Traditionally, the license permitting one of these horrific blood sports is granted before the end of this month (July) to Ireland’s only carted stag hunt, the Ward Union Hunt in County Meath.

The stags hunted by the Ward Union club are farmed and domesticated animals.

Our cruelty laws prohibit the hunting of domestic or farmed animals, and the Wildlife Act, under which licenses to hunt stags are granted, permits only the hunting of WILD deer.

don't say you're using real blood like the catholic workers did in Australia and worry people you're doing satanic rituals. & don't use red paint dye like me and my bunch did to the fountains before the iraqi war - it comes out pink. You need brown paint or dye mixed with bright red in ratio 3::1. Or just ask your local butcher or charnel house, Bernie.
(that was a joke. no beings with eyes were harmed in the writing of this comment. )
