I am totally sickened by all of this - it's blood-lust at its worst. On face value, I had sort of assumed that Natural England would have an abosolute commitment to protecting wildlife so this is a massive eye-opener - I suspect it will be the same for many people in the UK.
Thank you Protect the Wild for once again making this issue so visible.
Labour need to keep their promise to ban hunting with hounds and this sick barbarity will end. In the meantime those brave sabs and monitors will continue to shine a light on these sick people and their vile pastime. We must all support them in whatever way we can. 💪😡
I have received a reply from the N.T. Below is their email response to me. I think it is a cop out just the same as when we were emailing them regarding trail hunting on their land, they stuck their heads in the sand and they still allowed trail hunting to continue until hunts webinar where the hunts lies were exposed.
Dear Roger
Thank you for your email, we apologise for the delay in our response.
Hunting wild mammals with dogs was banned in England and Wales by the Hunting Act of 2004: National Trust land is no exception .The law does allow what is known as trail hunting to continue, but we no longer licence this.
If you think you have witnessed an incident of trespass on National Trust land we ask that you report it, with as much detail as possible, including the location and the name of the group in question, to us on this email and to our staff on the ground where possible.
We take any validated reports of trespass very seriously and we will take action where appropriate. We carefully consider all information submitted to us, but we are not able to comment on the outcome of any reported incidents.
If you do need to get back in touch with us about this, please make sure to respond back to my email and not send a brand new one to us. That way our full email conversation will be kept together, and we can continue to best support you with looking into your enquiry further.
I have emailed all four organisations. I have not, as yet, received a single reply. I can only conclude they are incompetent cowards and cannot justify what is happening on their land.

I don't understand why these appalling excuses for humans aren't in jail, nor indeed those who are allowing this behaviour.
