A new Hunt Saboteurs group has been launched in West Yorkshire to combat local bloodsports using non-violent direct action to save the lives of animals.
A new Hunt Saboteurs group has been launched in West Yorkshire to combat local bloodsports using non-violent direct action to save the lives of animals.
The group was set up as a direct respose to the proposal and signing of a contract to begin shooting on the publicly owned Ilkley Moor; managed by Bradford City Council until their recent deal with the Bingley Moor Partnership to begin killing the grouse for 'sport'.
Other activities of the group include to monitor local hunts in the area when the season begins in September, and intervene where necessary. We are also currently planning meetings with the local police forces to discuss their actions to enforce the Hunting Act and bridge links in evidence gathering for prosecutions.
We also plan to begin a campaign, Dying for a Pint, to put pressure on pubs and hotels who are willing to host local hunts known for breaching the ban, and of course stop local shoots meeting at venues before going for a day's 'fun' killing wildlife.

Anywhay, isn't it about time Steele sorts his head out and stops flitting from one lost cause to another? Playing at campaign organiser now hunt sab organiser, bound to fail since everything he gets involved in attracks the wrong press and the police.
And as for the company he keeps...

Viewfinder, by your post and the link you gave, you simply prove that you are unable to distinguish between two people with the same surname.
What a dimwit.
Please check and (in your case), double check, your facts before posting.
Thesaurus, try coming up with something a but more positive, for example, what have you been doing thats better - except informing.

I laughed when I read the first 2 comments - completely out of touch and obviously dont know the people involved, but trying to make out that they do. Mixing up 2 different people and then trying to sound so condescending - backfired big-stylee.
LOL

I will say again that I think that Steele is a waste of time jumping from one campaign to another messing everything up as he goes and he keeps/kept/lived with bad company, how much rubbed off I wonder...
Seems to get away with a hell of alot as well....
