Dear Minister Coveney,

I support the Irish Council Against Blood Sports' call on you to ensure that digging out and terrier work are among the activities outlawed under the new Animal Health and Welfare Bill. These horrendous acts of cruelty are carried out by sadistic individuals and also by merciless foxhunting groups.

In July 2012, you expressed your view that digging out and terrierwork are 'unacceptable'. Please act on this and protect our wildlife from such shameful abuse.

Thank you. I look forward to your positive response.

Yours sincerely,

[Name/Location]
