I viewed the quote form the hsa at the bottom of the report, with a degree of amusement;
"A spokesman for the Hunt Saboteurs Association, which regularly targets hunts in Gloucestershire and Herefordshire, said his organisation and his activists had nothing whatsoever to do with the action.
We simply do not engage in or condone criminal damage or any attacks on animals, he said.
We engage in legal disruption of illegal hunting and we had nothing to do with this whatsoever.
It doesnt sound like the sort of thing the ALF would do either, killing a dog. They have been known to steal an entire pack of hounds, but they wouldnt harm one.
Would the hsa call hounds across a public highway, and into the path of oncoming traffic? No, of course they wouldn't!
