The Reality of Boxing Day Fox Hunting
Boxing day is the biggest day in the Fox Hunting Calendar. It’s a massive propaganda event run by the Countryside Alliance to portray “trail hunting” – a harmless, legal activity supported by millions of ordinary country folk. They troll out endless pictures of happy children on horseback and contented hounds licking youngsters faces that are […]
Seal Campaign – Latest News
It is with great sadness that the HSA Seal Guardian Campaign 2015 reports the loss of its first seal. The Scottish Wild Salmon Company aka Usan Fisheries shot this female adult grey seal. It was not a clean shot. The bullet entered the lower cheek/neck area, and passed straight through her. She would have […]

Severn Vale Hare Hunting festival stopped in its tracks
Today over fifty sabs attended the Severn Vale Hare hunting festival, originally thought to be a single day event but thanks to Kay Thompson, hunt photographer, who posted about her attendance on her Twitter feed (doh), we realised it is a six day event. Sabs turned up to realise that this sport, so vaunted by […]
More violence from Crawley & Horsham as cubbing season starts
Less than one week after the violence at the Blackmore and Sparkmore Vale hunt, you would be thinking that the Countryside Alliance would have advised hunts to keep a low profile. If so it has not sunk into the low intellects of the Crawley & Horsham hunting set. No sooner had hunt sabs turned up […]

Bye Wye – Hare Hunting Beagle Pack Disbands
On Saturday 22nd March the Wye Beagles, in Kent, held their last ever meet, bringing to an end 67 years of hare hunting.

On Saturday the 15th March a group of over 40 hunt saboteurs attended the Sinnington Hunt’s final meet of the season at Kirkdale, North Yorkshire. The hunt was targeted in response to the violent assault of a lone hunt monitor two weeks earlier which left him requiring x-rays. His camcorder was stolen and his mobile phone […]
Badger cull cruel and ineffective
A leaked report by the Independent Expert Panel (IEP) has now confirmed what we already knew – the trial badger cull was cruel and didn’t work. The IEP was appointed by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to evaluate the effectiveness, humaneness and safety of the Gloucestershire and Somerset pilots. The leaked […]

Hunt saboteurs from across the country were also instrumental in the failure of the Government’s badger cull. […]
