Hunt Saboteurs Association dismisses hunters’ claims of defying ban as ‘lost cause’

The Hunt Saboteurs Association (HSA) today dismissed claims by the Countryside Alliance that hunts will continue to go out in force after the hunt ban comes into effect. Dawn Preston, spokesperson for the HSA, stated ‘What we see here is the Countryside Alliance attempting to beat their chest in light of the failed prosecution of a huntsman in Scotland. They know full well that the law in Scotland is very different from the Hunting Act in England and Wales, and to try and draw comparisons shows how desperate they are to get press for their lost cause.’
