MANY UK ARAs ARE FORCED TO STEP UP SECURITY AS PRO-HUNT EXTREMISTS
DRAW UP 'HIT LIST'
Property, vehicles, communications and computers at risk
Pro-hunt extremists are drawing up a hit-list of anti hunt campaigners
in the event of a forthcoming ban, It can be revealed. It comes just
days after the alleged assault of anti hunt campaigners and police at
the recent parliamentary discussions in London.
Reliable sources within the pro-hunting movement have indicated the
intentions of some of their peers to actively publicise the names and
addresses of leading anti hunt campaigners on the internet, resulting
in fears of personal attack or damage to property.
Those fears have now been further fueled by an anonymous letter in
this month's underground countryman's magazine "Earth Dog - Running
Dog" - a copy of which has been obtained by certain sources. It urges
hunters to "choose targets directly connected with the anti-hunting
repressive apparatus" , it refers to property, vehicles,
communications and computer hacking.
The threats come shortly after Channel 4 News broadcast sinister
footage of Real Countryside Alliance activists attacking the property
of an anti-hunt campaigner. It showed masked activists daubing slogans
on the campaigners house and damage to a vehicle. And in a recent BBC
Newsnight investigation into the Real Countryside Alliance, anonymous
pro-hunt activists from Wales stated that "physical violence" was on
the agenda if hunting was banned.
Many campaigners have already been attacked and members of staff of
anti hunt groups have been assaulted and arson attacks . We cannot
afford not to take such threats seriously. As a result people are
stepping up security at premises in all areas. We hope this will deter
extremists from taking such foolhardy action and have also written to
the police asking that the strongest action be taken in the event of
such circumstances.
This directly involves people in these groups, after an innocent
victim was named, his address published and photographs of his house
daubed all over the net by Pro Hunt extremists, in a mistaken effort
to get at an AR advocate. Fortunately these premises were covered by
CCTV and the tapes are now in the hands of the police.
You are all advised to take particular note of strangers hanging
around in cars or on foot. If possible keep diaries, take photographs
and registration numbers, note descriptions. warn neighbours and
neighbourhood watch representatives. If there is anything suspicious,
or if in doubt, contact your local police IMMIEDIATELY.
Usually once these people are caught, investigations reveal other
participants.
Consider installing CCTV. BEWARE of suspicious mailings and packages
on the doorstep. ALWAYS ask to see ID.
The Police are taking these matters very seriously, and it outlines
the mentality of the people that would like to see animal abuse
continue unrestrained. There needs to be a few cogs loose to
participate in animal abuse, without doubt.
