This short film documents the lengths to which followers of the Ward Union hunt will go to hide the suffering caused to deer during their cruel hunt. <br /><br />Included are scenes in which hunt monitors from the Irish Council Against Blood Sports are verbally abused and harassed on public roads. Also shown is the vehicle of a hunt follower driving slowly in the middle of a road in an attempt to interfere with the monitoring and filming of the hunt. <br /><br />The film ends with a montage of footage captured by ICABS over the past few hunt seasons. The footage shows terrified deer being chased by the hounds, cornered, bitten and dragged head-first to the ground. <br /><br />All footage was filmed during Ward Union hunts in County Meath, Ireland by Irish Council Against Blood Sports monitors. <br /><br />Please respond to our ongoing action alert. Email "Ban the Ward Union carted deer hunt" to Environment Minister, John Gormley (The Green Party) - minister@environ.ie <br /><br />Ask Minister Gormley to stop licensing this cruel hunt and to fulfil his party's pre-election promise that they would end blood sports when they got into government. <br /><br />For more information on the cruelty of carted deer hunting, click on "Campaigns" at www.banbloodsports.com
