Midlands Action against Fox Hunting

Midlands Action against Fox Hunting have sent the following message to residents of Avon Dassett and the local area.

“You will no doubt be aware of the current situation regarding the
Warwickshire Hunt. At present they are being allowed to conduct
anti-social behaviour and are putting local residents at risk. They have
and continue to trespass without any regard for the community. We are
looking for like-minded individuals who want to take action against this
behaviour and who are willing to make a stand against illegal hunting
and the anti-social behaviour that comes with it.
If this is you and you’d like to get involved please email
midlands@actionagainstfoxhunting.org (All details given will be treated
with the utmost confidence).”
