Scum Remover

In which Gizzie Rascal spoke to Paul Timpson of the North West Hunt Saboteurs Association about mink hunts. The summer season is coming so the bloodthirsty hunt scum are about to take up their walking sticks and venture out across the streams and tributaries of Britain in search of the unfairly maligned mink (and perhaps the occasional otter).

In which we read an excerpt from Philip Windeatt's 1982 booklet The Hunt and the Anti-Hunt. We have chosen to read just the first and most significant section, "The History of Foxhunting: A State of Mind", as it gives an insightful deep dive into the history of fox, deer and hare hunting as it's practiced in the UK today as well as a history of its opposition. The full text can be found at the Talon Conspiracy.

But a small group of sabs, monitors and other anti-hunting campaigners are determined to end the charity's accommodation of so-called 'trail hunting'.
