Why do some saboteurs wear masks?

Many sabs choose to hide their identities whilst out sabbing to avoid repercussions from hunters. Throughout our history, sabs who have become known to hunters have been hassled at work, had hunt thugs at their home and even on occasion had vehicles tampered with and pets killed.

Wearing a mask, and similar clothing to other sabs provides a level of protection against this.

Often hunters will ask “why are you wearing a mask – aren’t you proud of what you do?” The truth is, we don’t do what we do for recognition, we do it simply to save animals’ lives.
