Hunt sabotage

• Interventionists usually use citronella sprays to mask the scent of the animal the hounds and hunters track or use sound and visual distractions to prevent the hunters from being successful, destroy hunting towers and enter hunting estates and farms to disarm animal traps. This tactic of directly confronting the hunters has led to several activists being injured or killed by both the field riders and the terrier men who are hired to illegally block and dig out setts.
• Non-interventionists use video, photography and witness statements to support prosecution of hunters who commit offenses or to raise awareness of issues they consider show hunting as cruel, ineffective or in a bad light.
• Both hunt saboteurs and independent monitors share similar techniques as both hunt saboteurs and independent monitors document and support the prosecution of those caught illegally hunting. The methods of documentation used by both saboteurs and monitors are usually videoing and photographing the illegal activities conducted by the hunt
