If it were young working class lads on motorbikes marauding around the countryside causing a nuisance with packs of dogs out of control, I can guarantee they would be arrested immediately and there would be nationwide outrage on the front pages of all the newspapers. Why aren’t these people being held accountable for blatantly breaking the law, being a public nuisance and causing a breach of the peace? Activists who silently and peacefully protest get arrested immediately and face prosecution. I am beyond angry that hunts are getting away with this relentlessly, in broad daylight. They make a mockery of the law, the justice system and the police with their arrogant and entitled behaviour. I have written to my MP and Welsh Assembly Representative again about this, as I urge anyone who cares about this issue to do the same. It is apathy and lack of public outrage that is allowing this to continue.
I am so grateful to the animal sanctuary who took the poor hound in, who had collapsed in the lane. It is abhorrent that they were forced to return the dog. These people are not fit to have dogs if this is the way they treat them.
She or he will be shot as useless as that is what these scum do. Has been photgraphed by the HSA (HUNT SABBATEURS ASSOCIATION.) Join them and find the Petition to sign to get as many signatures as we can to be presented to that idle lot in government. A Bill as been drawn up, I believe, and will get rid of the loop holes and will be renamed to have an all encompassing title that cannot be misconstrued by these evil Hunters! They are so arrogant, have injured on purpose members of the SAB, and even killed one a few years ago!
It makes me so upset and angry thinking about the treatment of the hounds as well as the foxes. The horses too. They must pick up on all that violent, angry, malevolent energy. I think I have signed the petition (I have signed so many!) but just in case, would I find it from Protect the Wild’s website? I wish I could go to a sab, but I am genuinely scared of getting hurt (health not good so I can’t risk it). I am in awe of all the sabs, they are so brave. I donate when I can, especially when some had cars smashed in recently. It’s abhorrent that a sab was killed, just trying to protect an innocent animal.
Thanks for you comments. I too would like to join the SABS but at 79 am not that strong anymore(hip probs), but I dont know if Protect the Wild website would have it but google the HSA, animal one not the medical one, or Robert Powell who runs a website for foxes may be on facebook or youtube.
Thank you, Susan. I double checked and I have signed the petition from Protect the Wild, and will check out Robert Powell’s website too. It would be wonderful to be strong enough to go out with the sabs, but what you are doing, with your support, encouragement and campaigning is every bit as important. You do make a difference, Susan, and corresponding with you has bolstered and inspired me even more to try and protect wildlife.
I couldn't agree more. These hunts continue because many of those in positions of authority to stop this are members of, or have sympathy for, these hunts and their vile, medieval practices. MOD and the military spring to mind.
Thank you, Charles. It’s so corrupt. Animals have no voice and that’s what I really despise; this vicious, murdering, meaningless bullying. Just for the “fun”. I cannot comprehend what they get from hunting a terrified creature. They must be really awful people to live with, with that sociopathic mentality. The whole set up around this practice makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Awaiting reply. I am lucky and have a brilliant Labour MP who cares passionately about his constituents. I pester the hell out of him about animal issues, and he always replies. He recently wrote back to say he he vehemently against animal testing, another time to say he will vote against harmful pesticides, he replies to all my emails, and is a huge animal lover. He seems to be one of the very few genuine, decent MP’s around.
Never mind getting it ammended get it f in well banned as a supporter of PTW Im right behind a total ban on these sadistic acts of barbaric outdated pasttimes, the government needs to realise its the common people not these knobs on horseback out number them in the polls so get voices heard we want a total ban on this and the police need to grow a set of balls and impliment fines just coz these dicks talk with plums in ther mouths doesnt absolve them from the law of the land shower of inbreds
Brilliant comment Joeann! 😠I am a member of PETA and the HSA.
I Donate a lot and sign anything to stop these arrogant sadistic morons. I cannot go out with the Devon SABS as I am 79 but wish I could. The Police and the Magistrates in some areas, are complicit in keeping this so called sport going by letting off the criminals. Even that woman who kicked and punched her horse in his face to "teach him a lesson"! She was a teacher too.! You need to read the HOWL magazine to keep up with the Hunters and Terrier men. Its free when you are a member. Keep up protesting.
Sign the Petition. Probably you will find it on Facebook where a lot of anti hunt news is posted. Not for only foxes, but their puppies, called Kits, Stags and Does, hares, badgers, otters and minks. They have no mercy and enjoy the screams of these lovely animals being chased to a terrible death torn apart by the pack of poor hounds who are starving. You can see their ribs to a ridiculous level. Just recently a Hunt left behind to die an injured hound which was luckily found by a passerby and taken to a local Sanctuary. Unfortunately when they reported it the Police gave it back to the Hunt.!!!
How disgusting disgraceful and diabolical !! These toffs are sick really sick and heartless.and think their above everyone else !! Well their not , they are scum and cruel and vile !
They are not all Toffs but just wealthy enough to own a horse buy the gear and join a Hunt. Though are backed by our do called aristocracy even some of the royals. Kate goes shooting and the season for this is just starting so the SABS are ready to disrupt their antics! 😀✊Hope no more 🐑🐿🐓🐔🐈🐺🐏🐩 get killed by the Hunts.
These sadistic “ sportsmen and women creatures are living on borrowed time hence the frenzy to get killing before these “hunts” cease either by legislation or by the people fed up with the blind arrogance and cruelty so reminiscent of the horrors and blood lust of the Fascist and Nazi regimes racing and hunting through Europe looking for victims whose blood they must spill !
Hunting is a highly misused term. What these 'hunts' do is slaughter animals for fun. It is not hunting which can only be justified if essential for survival i.e. food. There are very few cultures that legitimately hunt for food left in this world. Fix hunting and stag hunting are just illegal actives to which authorities turn a blind eye.
It is absolutely appalling and sadistic that those people and their hounds are terrorizing innocent animals and also a lot of those hounds suffer cruel deaths when they are of no use to their vicious owners. They have NO right to run wild with their horses and dogs terrorizing
Ni doubt the poor exhausted dog was killed by the hunt. Such a dog is of no use to them. I knew someone who rescued a lost beagle, and was told it would be killed if returned, so it was smuggled away by those who could help.
The magistrates and court system in the uk are crooked and sick in body and soul where these murderers and killers of natures amazing beautiful animals are concerned in fact the whole system in our country is broken, the uk i was born , has gone, why do some members of the human race think they can do what they like, they think they are special, who gave them the right to kill kill kill, be it with dogs or guns, the animals on our planet have the right to live in peace and freedom, the human species are the worst species on our planet, what sickness must go through their mind to want to kill our lovely animals, saying that i would have no qualms killing the animal killers, maybe thats my sickness, bought on by my "HATRED" of sick animal abusers/killers, leave the animals alone, f*** you.
You are so right! Quite a few are referred to as “your royal highness” or “Majesty” and we lowly beings are expected to show due deference! Bow your heads chaps and curtsey ladies!

Well said Helen👍as for that poor hound it will probably be deemed useless now so god only knows whats happened to her shower of SCUM😡😡😡

Helen,
I couldn't agree more. These hunts continue because many of those in positions of authority to stop this are members of, or have sympathy for, these hunts and their vile, medieval practices. MOD and the military spring to mind.
Charles, much of extensive MOD land is given over to shooting when/where no live training operations underway. Shameful.
Thank you, Charles. It’s so corrupt. Animals have no voice and that’s what I really despise; this vicious, murdering, meaningless bullying. Just for the “fun”. I cannot comprehend what they get from hunting a terrified creature. They must be really awful people to live with, with that sociopathic mentality. The whole set up around this practice makes me feel very uncomfortable.
The mainstream media rarely report any of this
with sufficient profile to motivate public anger to make opposition count. Hunt SABS cannot do it all alone.
Think Ben (Lord) Goldsmith, is one of us and lives in Dorset- he has enough clout so should advance the fight- will try to contact via House of Lords.
And, Helen, what was your Mp’s response?
Whaffle and evasion?
Awaiting reply. I am lucky and have a brilliant Labour MP who cares passionately about his constituents. I pester the hell out of him about animal issues, and he always replies.

I like yourself sign every petition these sadistic scum need erradicating and i will have a look at that thank you 👍👍👍
Yeah, Sarah Moulds was her name. She was filmed physically abusing her horse, there was no disputing the evidence, and still got away with it.
Needs banning now not next week , month or year Now

Let’s not forget the beautiful, innocent hares - what chance do they have ?
It is absolutely appalling and sadistic that those people and their hounds are terrorizing innocent animals and also a lot of those hounds suffer cruel deaths when they are of no use to their vicious owners. They have NO right to run wild with their horses and dogs terrorizing

BAN THE HUNTS AND THESE BLOODY "PEOPLE"
Agree, Helen. Our voices count for nothing as these unmentionables make the decisions - at local, county and governmental levels. Remember also, the
Devon and Somerset Staghounds - all this abhorrent activity in our West Country.
Apparently the most vicious County for hunting.
The magistrates and court system in the uk are crooked and sick in body and soul where these murderers and killers of natures amazing beautiful animals are concerned in fact the whole system in our country is broken, the uk i was born , has gone, why do some members of the human race think they can do what they like, they think they are special, who gave them the right to kill kill kill, be it with dogs or guns, the animals on our planet have the right to live in peace and freedom, the human species are the worst species on our planet, what sickness must go through their mind to want to kill our lovely animals, saying that i would have no qualms killing the animal killers, maybe thats my sickness, bought on by my "HATRED" of sick animal abusers/killers, leave the animals alone, f*** you.
You are so right! Quite a few are referred to as “your royal highness” or “Majesty” and we lowly beings are expected to show due deference! Bow your heads chaps and curtsey ladies!
James, ad idem. Mostly all the entitled
“County” set led by Royal family who
appoint them, Lieutenants, deputy
Lieutenants, Magistrates etc. Cannot see our Country ever recovering. They have no shame.
