Sussex Beagles kill Hare, Cumbria 2009

Upper class twits from Sussex on a jolly to Cumbria. Beagles hunt a hare for 30 mins and then kill it as if there is no ban on hunting in place.

A cameraman is heard on the phone reporting the hunt to Cumbria police. The huntsman blows for the kill, takes the trophies and poses for photographs. A hare screams, a law is broken blatantly, the police showed an interest but couldn’t work out how to read the video format. So another Cumbrian hare is chased and ripped apart for fun.

The government has launched a public consultation on Trail Hunting – this is our chance to stop cruel hunting for good. You can read the HSA’s guidance and take part in the consultation here. The deadline is 18th June 2026 – make sure your voice is heard.
