Hunt kennels and the headquarters for hunting in the UK were all targeted by animal rights activists in a spate of vandalism in Gloucestershire on Saturday night.
Kennels of the Duke of Beaufort's and the VWH were the subject of the attacks that took place late on Saturday and in the early hours of Sunday and included the Hunting Office's new base.
The letters ALF (a reference to the direct-action animal rights group the Animal Liberation Front) and the message "Enforce the Ban" were scrawled in red paint on the driveways of both hunts and the walls of the Hunting Office.
Reports that the Cotswold was also targeted are unfounded.
Car and lorry tyres were let down and paint stripper poured onto some vehicles.
Brian Fanshaw of the Masters of Foxhounds Association said: "There was quite a lot of vandalism over the night and it would appear that the Animal Liberation Front has been to the three places, targeting hunt servants' vehicles."
Today (18 February) marks three years since the Hunting Act came into play and it is thought the attacks could be meant to coincide with that.

Report of the night of action from the Animal Liberation Front (ALF)
19.02.2008 19:53
anonymous report:
"On the night of Sat. the 16th of Feb. we took action against the Beaufort and Vale of the White Horse Hunt kennels as well as the offices of the Master of Foxhounds Association. In all 16 vehicles including horse boxes, cars and 4x4's had their tyres slashed, paintstripped and painted. We also painted their walls with ALF.
This action is dedicated to Mike Hill the young hunt sab killed by hunt scum. This action is also timed to coincide with the anniversary of the hunt ban 3 years ago. The ban's not being enforced and most hunts still kill animals. Maybe when they stop breaking the law we will.
No Justice Just Us
