In a move that will surprise no one, hunting’s governing body – the British Hound Sports Association (BHSA) – continues to give active support to the notorious Teme Valley Hunt.
The BHSA website is currently hosting an advert for “assistance” at the Teme Valley Hunt kennels, describing the location as being “ideally situated in the heart of fabulous hill hunting country.”
The Powys-based Teme Valley Hunt hit national headlines when they were caught digging out and killing a fox while on their annual visit to the Coniston Foxhounds last November. The horrendous scene was captured on film by Lake District Hunt Sab’s drone and as a direct result, around sixteen people from both the Teme Valley Hunt and Coniston Foxhounds have been arrested to date.
As we reported back in December 2025, the case is so disturbing that even the Countryside Alliance desperately tried to cut ties with the Teme Valley Hunt. But the fox-hunting extremists of the BHSA have no such qualms and, instead of investigating the Teme Valley, they are actively recruiting for them!
The Hunt Saboteurs Association will have much more to say about high-level BHSA connections to this case in due course.
If you have not already done so, please help bring down the Teme Valley, the Coniston and all other hunts by filling in the government consultation on banning so-called trail hunting.
We have produced guidance to help you do this quickly, easily and effectively here.
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.
