PUT A STOP TO THE CRUEL SPORT OF FOX HUNTING IN IRELAND

FOX HUNTING IS ONE OF THE MOST DREADFUL OF CRUEL SPOTS IMAGINABLE. THESE HARMLESS ANIMALS ARE HUNTED FOR SOMETIMES HOURS ON END BY DOZENS OF HOUNDS AND PEOPLE ON HORSE BACK. Then when the terrified fox is to exhausted to go on, the hounds surround it and tear it asunder to the enjoyment of the riders and spectators. (I didn't up load photos because they are just too distressing to look at)  The pain and abject fear that these foxes endure is beyond belief.   Please, please help us to put an end to this utterly barbaric so called "Sport".  Sign the petition and tell Simon Coveney that this is no longer acceptable.  Tell him that the world is looking at us here in Ireland as a backward cruel nation.   These poor animals need your voice  Thank you
