Hunt enthusiasts infiltrate RSPCA

HUNT supporters are infiltrating the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).

A fresh drive has been launched to place supporters and country sportsmen inside the charity in time for its elections and annual meeting.

The RSPCA has been at the forefront of a campaign to support the Wild Mammals (Hunting with Hounds) Bill.

At least 3,000 country sports supporters are thought to have joined last year in response to a previous recruitment drive by hunt fanatics.
