Animal rights activists have targeted Fine Gael candidates with scurrilous adverts, emails and in some constituencies, leaflets demonising them for their consistent support for fieldsports.
We urge every person involved in all forms of fieldsports to make an effort to contact their Fine Gael candidates and let them know of your support. THIS IS IMPORTANT!! The only definitive answer which is appropriate is to give your vote to those candidates (and not forgetting Labour support also).
The general election ballot on Friday next, February 25th is the only poll which will count. Now is the time to demonstrate the strength of the 300,000 people who are fieldsports enthusiasts and to demonstrate to our public representatives that the support for fieldsports is overwhelming and the debate is decided. Call or email your local Fine Gael candidates and get out and vote next Friday.
