    From the ICABS website latest news page

    FBD Insurance is being urged to stop providing coverage to those involved in some of Ireland's worst acts of cruelty to animals. An IFA Countryside/FBD Insurance package is providing cover to foxhunters, hare coursers and terriermen who are responsible for horrendous suffering and death to wildlife.

    How many people here use FBD for their shooting insurance?

    Shooting, car, and home for me.

    Wonder how they would feel with tens of thousands of people pulling all three from FBD if they decide to act on ICABS' demands. I find a company will take the moral ground unless it affects profits.

    It seems the height of stupidity for an anti-fieldsports, anti-meat eating organisation to be appealing to fbd , farmer business developments. who after all cater to farmers who rear animals for slaughter.

    Commercial vehicle insurance from me which I will not renew with FBD if the company bows to ICABS but given FBD's background it should be as likely as a vegan butchershop opening tomorrow.

    I only use FBD for my car, farm and business.
    But as was said before, give them an inch and they take a mile.
