Beaufort Hunt supporters Netia Hibbert and Emma Farquhar have launched a postcard featuring the people who stand to lose their jobs if hunting is banned.

The two friends, from Pinkney, near Malmesbury, have had such a huge response to the cards, entitled Endangered Species, that they have had to print a second run to cope with demand.

Miss Hibbert, 24, a make up artist, said: "It's gone nuts, absolutely nuts. We have had hundreds of letters from people asking about and ordering the cards.

"Some people have even said that they used the cards to write to the Prime Minister and their MP."

They have now printed 16,000 postcards that each show 13 pictures including huntsmen, farriers, bootmakers and saddlers.

Miss Hibbert said "We went to Wales to photograph a boot maker. Their income comes from hunting boots so if the hunt is banned they will lose their livelihood."

She and Miss Farquhar, 25, whose father is joint master of the Beaufort Hunt, will be joining other hunt supporters in London for the Liberty and Livelihood march on Sunday. Money raised from the postcards will go to the Countryside Alliance.
