UPDATE: AUCTION IS GONE, GALABID STATE THEY ARE CATEGORICALLY AGAINST FOX HUNTING
This is another good result for us, if you are profiting from hunting wildlife you will be challenged! Thanks to all who contacted GALABID, we now recommend them as your go to auction service!
Local East Galway fox killers the Galway Blazers have taken to online auction platform "galabid.com" in order to raise money to continue murdering Irish wildlife.
Similar to the situation with the Alzheimer Society of Ireland last summer, we need to inform galabid that it is not acceptable to host bloodsport enthusiasts on their platform. This platform is generally used by charities or positive campaigns. They self describe themselves as "raising money for school, charity and non-profit organizations".
Below are some links you can provide Galabid to shed some light onto who they are platforming.

The Galway ‘Blazers’ then subsequently posted to their Facebook calling this online action by Connacht Hunt Saboteurs a “technical letdown”, shown below. The huntsman in red, Anthony Costello, has assaulted Connacht Hunt Sabs before and one of his lackeys was caught on camera in 2019 shouting sectarian abuse at Irish sabs who he thought were from Northern Ireland [source].
