“Be it known that there are now three SLAVE-HUNTERS or KIDNAPPERS in Boston, looking for their prey.”
A poster that was distributed in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, in 1851, to warn enslaved people and people who might be perceived as such (black Americans and black immigrants).

"Proclamation!! To all the Good People of Massachusetts! Bet it known that there are now three SLAVE-HUNTERS or KIDNAPPERS in Boston, looking for their prey." The flyer goes on to describe and name each man, not in flattering terms.
