Imagine conservatives doing this to environmentalist wackos.

Sounds like terrorism to me. Send the SAS to wipe them out. Interesting to see anti-hunting allied with violent marxists.

The Countryside Alliance is, however, warning members to make sure their property is secure after hints that radicals may be plotting break-ins and vandalism while rural landowners are demonstrating in the British capital.

Not that the landowners could do anything even if they were home. Seems if you're a British homeowner, you just have roll over and take it if an intruder decides to make you his latest victim -- none of that barbaric defending-one's-self-and-property nonsense for them, what.

More evidence that liberals are evil.

Actually, by posting the names of known hunters the nuts have probably removed them from the criminals hit list. Since they hunt, they probably have access to firearms or some other lethal weapon. The perps would rather find the anti-hunters names, they are without question unarmed.

This is unfortunately a tactic they learned from the lunatic fringe of the American pro-life movement.

Actually, remember the stink the Left raised over that "Nuremburg Files" website? There was a stink raised, and IMHO, justifiably so - this is pretty close to aiding some violent wacko.

Now some folks on the left do that. Surprise, surprise.

Um, unfortunately you folks have missed something important about this article. Few or none of the people who are being targeted as hunters are hunters as Americans think of them: that is, guys with long guns going into the bushes to feed their families. The animal terrorists are targeting mostly foxhunters.

It's a class warfare issue with Marxist-Leninist roots, based in the misconception that foxhunting is some sort of pointless high-falutin' activity for rich snobs. In fact foxhunters in the UK come from all social classes; lots of them are humble farmers trying to help control out-of-control fox populations and have some fun along the way. Hunting is done largely because it is vital to maintaining the biological balance in the countryside, and is certainly the kindest way to keep the burgeoning fox population under control, as other remedies prove to be much more cruel for the foxes. Without control of this sort, foxes do tremendous damage to British agriculture.

It is also an economic issue as in the U.K. there is a large industry devoted to breeding, raising, and training hunt horses and hounds, supplying riders with clothing and equipment, instructing them, and so forth. Thousands of people derive their employment from the horse and hunting industry in the UK. The devastation to the countryside would be dreadful, particularly following last year's horrendous attack of foot-and-mouth disease, which was so catastrophic to British agriculture.

The monster terrorists are so peaceful and so loving toward animals that they regularly attack not only hunters but hunt horses and the families of the hunters.

What I wish American hunters of all sorts would understand is that those who take shotguns and go out to hunt ducks, or those with rifles who go after deer, are the brothers-in-arms of foxhunters on both sides of the Atlantic. When foxhunters are attacked, deer and wildfowl hunters are next. If these terrorists and left-wingers manage to get foxhunting banned in the UK, they'll do it here next. And then they'll come after the guys who hunt ducks and deer. . .

Hehe.... but the loony leftists don't like guns.

Exactly how are they supposed to kill an armed hunter?

We ought to post and encourage it. :) It'd make great TV to see a little green nazi going to the ER with a rifle up his arse....

Such peaceful, intelligent, compassionate souls. /sarcasm

So, the anti-hunters, who presumably don't have firearms, are going to come after hunters, who do. That ought to thin the herd of the lamebrains all right.
