Lynn Sawyer (vegan) is the author of “Hunting, a guide for anti-hunt and animal rights activists,” in which she explains the historical background of hunting, techniques used, and how animal-people rights activists can stop it. “I’m an animal rights activist and a hunt saboteur, and vegan, have been for many years. My history is that I was once a hunt supporter and farm worker, but I saw the error of my ways, and I became an anti-hunt activist in the animal rights movement. Now I’ve been an activist for nearly 30 years.”“In the UK, there’s something called fox hunting. There’s hunting wild mammals for sports, so that would be foxes, deer, mink, and hare. I think it’s wrong because they are using a living animal, a living being, as a piece of sporting equipment. And, as a result of that, a lot of foxes die or are terrorized in order to provide that sport. And, to that extent, they’re basically chasing, terrorizing and killing when they don’t have to. It was actually made illegal. In 2005, the Hunting Act came out, so it is actually a criminal offence.” “Any use or breeding of animals for human convenience and amusement and food ends up this. We should be doing as much as we can to limit our control and abuse of animals to eliminate it completely.”Lynn shared with us how rehabilitating wildlife can also help to prevent hunting. “I work at a wildlife rehabilitation wildlife hospital and I volunteer there and we do have wild animals coming in and they are raised, some of the babies, baby birds, baby hedgehogs, and they’re raised and they’re released back into the wild.” “We’re Three Counties Hunt Saboteurs and we also run Gloucestershire Badger Office. We help wildlife to escape from the hounds and we go and unblock badger setts. So, we go into various counties doing this kind of work.”
