On 29 January the Foundation Equanimal carried forward Sabotage the hunt foxes in Galicia. This took place during the conclusion of the Championship of Spain of fox hunting, which took place over several municipalities in the province of Pontevedra. About 150 activists from different parts of Galicia, Castilla León, Madrid, Asturias, Catalonia and other parts of English territory came to defend animals from hunters. Activist groups followed the roads to hunters. Hunting hampered by distracting them, putting his side panels or in front of them and making use of other methods are not always violent.

view this, many hunters have responded with insults and threats. But others have gone further and has viciously attacked both activists and journalists who covered the event. Several television cameramen were attacked by hunters for the sake of doing their job. Also, several activists were beaten @ s @ s. Some of them were after being thrown to the ground. FREE list of the hunters with their weapons and sent their dogs to attack the activists, which fortunately did not happen because these animals used to hunting, not obeyed. L @ \u200b\u200bs activists came to the medical center and filed a complaint that day.
From Equanimal wish to express our rejection not only by these attacks, but also our sorrow for it. We are aware that the failure to convene an act of this kind is that l @ s activists, who have come from afar to defend animals, are at risk. It is unfortunate that animal protection implies that in situations like Saturday. But the work of l @ s activists has paid off: this year have been fox hunted only 37 (compared to previous years which have killed about a hundred), and the act has had wide impact, helping to raise awareness society about respect for animals.

This is the fifth consecutive year Equanimal sabotage carried out of the championship. With this action, and save the lives of many animals, we raise public awareness of respect for animals, not only in the case of hunting, but in general. We advocate that Animals are not resources available to us, and we advocate a society in which they do not suffer any kind of exploitation.
addition, this action culminates a January game against the constant activities:
On January 8, activists sabotaging Equanimal were hunting in the championship game of snipe Spain held in Coristanco (A Coruña).
Then on January 14 carried out a protest in the Environment Department of the Xunta de Galicia, which supports the game and has cracked down on animal rights.
Also on Saturday, January 22, there was a concentration protest in the town of Rois, during the championship celebration Galicia fox hunting.
