Action Against Foxhunting Podcasts
Did you know that there are people who still think it's ok to set a pack of dogs on a wild animal, chase it for hours and then gleefully watch it being torn apart? That they do it for FUN?
Did you know that illegal foxhunting is prolific? Did you know that there are around 200 fox hunts in this country, all masquerading as noble, worthy organisations?
Action Against Foxhunting's job is to expose the brutal cruelty of hunts and their efforts to evade the law. We also want to help others become active the the fight to end this outdated activity.
Starting with "Hello from Action Against Foxhunting", listen to our podcasts and find out what it's like to become an activist, what happens on a fox hunt, and how to object to a hunt Boxing Day meet in your town. We also show you how much we care for our members and what we do to support them in this difficult and upsetting mission.
Our podcasts are short (about 20 mins).
Anyone can join AAF - and it's free - all you need is a passion to protect animals from harm, some guts and a considerable amount of determination.
