Save the Haggis
The Purple West Highland Haggis is now on the endanger species list.
Like all hunting with hounds, haggis hunting is designed to be cruel. Hounds are bred for stamina, providing the 'sport' of a lengthy chase. The haggis is forced to run as far and as fast as it can until exhausted, when the hounds will catch and kill it. Hunters claim that the haggis is killed instantly, but evidence has shown again and again that the haggis is just as likely to be torn apart alive. Hunts can kill 20,000 haggis and their neeps (cubs) annually.
Although hunting deer with hounds has been illegal in Scotland for over 30 years, haggis hunting continues.
p.s. haggis have a nervous system almost as complex as the fox and do feel considerable stress & pain.
