THINGS TO DO
NOW
TO DEMONSTRATE TO GOVERNMENT THAT HUNTING FOLK AND THEIR FRIENDS WILL NOT BE
WALKED ON BY URBAN BIGOTRY
-
Continue to demonstrate at all
ministerial visits. Because of the effectiveness of our activities to date,
they keep their schedules a closely guarded secret. Please therefore let us
know by ringing the contact numbers at the bottom of this leaflet
immediately if you hear a whisper of the likelihood such a visit.
Photocopy the notice on the reverse of this leaflet, by the dozen, and
display wherever dogs are habitually walked.
Harass all anti-hunting Labour MPs at every possible surgery and other
opportunity. These people deserve all the mockery, humiliation and misery we
can heap upon them – without violence --- but with as much noise and “cake –
making ingredients” (!) as you can carry.

2005, wait until 2nd or 3rd Reminder and then offer to pay off the arrears
