Organisers are hoping that hundreds will turn out in Exeter city centre on Saturday in a march against fox hunting.
It is the first march organised by Devon Against Hunting - a new group which hopes to unite anti-fox hunting groups and change the attitude of the police towards it.
"The police do realise what is going on," said co-organiser Julie Fitzhugh. "But I think they think what is going on in the country is separate to the rest of us and I can tell you that if they were behaving as they do in the country on the high street, we'd have armed police everywhere.
"We want to give the message that not everyone in the countryside agrees with hunting – quite the reverse in fact.
"We are fed up of seeing the violence in videos every week so while it is still hunting season and fresh in people's minds, we want to give everyone in the South West the opportunity to show they don't agree with it.
"There really is so much support – we get emails all the time from people. They ask us what to do when there is a hunt on their land and how to get rid of them, they tell us about being ignored when they tell them to go.
"People say it is tradition but we have had things that are tradition in the past which we have got rid of for the better."
The March starts at noon on Saturday at Belmont Park. It will then proceed down into the High Street.
A press release for the march reads: "We are fed up with the lies about trail hunting and 'accidental killings week in week out.
"We want the police to enforce the Hunting Act 2004, we want the violence towards hunt sabs to stop. All laws are equal - even in the countryside.
"This is an outdated "sport" that needs to be assigned to the history books.
"This march has been organised by Devon Against Hunting, a new group encouraged by the overwhelming force of anti-hunt feeling."
A number of speakers will also appear at the event, and Julie admits she is unsure what kind of numbers she can expect.
She said: "It's hard to say how many we expect – we were joking with the police because it is very weather-dependent.
"I know 900 people so far have said they're interested on our Facebook page but I don't want that many people there – 500 would be the optimum number.
"Last year during the badger march we got around 250, so it is very hard to say. This is much more high-profile than the badger cull, so it is very difficult to tell."
