Catch up on recent news from the Hunt Saboteurs Association
Love us or hate us, you can’t argue that the Hunt Saboteurs Association has ever shied away from what we do. We sabotaged hunting when it was legal, and we’ve continued to sabotage hunting since it became illegal in 2005. For sixty-five years the hunter’s organisation – the British Field Sports Society – also did […]
30 years ago today, on the 9th of February 1991, hunt saboteur Mike Hill was killed at a meet of the Cheshire Beagles. Towards the end of the days hunting, with sabs having prevented any kills, the huntsman boxed up his hounds in a small blue trailer being towed by an open-top pick-up truck. The […]
The latest ‘strictly confidential’ revelations from Hunting Leaks are some of the most shocking yet. They demonstrate both the incredible effectiveness of hunt saboteurs and the fanatical desperation of those trying to stop us. The Hunting Office’s meeting minutes outline a three-stranded anti-sab strategy costing hundreds of thousands of pounds of their members money. The […]
The HSA’s recent exposé of Hunting Office training webinars – which confirm that “trail hunting” is a smokescreen for illegal hunting – is only the latest instance in a long history of deception by the hunting lobby. In 1978, the otter was saved from extinction by the passing of the Wildlife & Countryside Act. While a couple of otter hunts disbanded, most simply claimed to […]
The fallout from the Hunt Saboteurs Association’s exposé of Hunting Office webinars is ongoing. However, one of the most immediate results was the suspension of “trail hunting” licenses on over 2.3 million acres of land owned by the National Trust, United Utilities, and other bodies. An HSA supporter who lives in one of these areas […]
“Now you know more about hunting than the saboteurs or the courts will know but what it will do is create that smokescreen or that element of doubt that we haven’t deliberately hunted a fox…”
The HSA now have a tip-off hotline that you can contact in strict confidence! If you have some information about a hunt or have seen a hunt please get in touch, someone will respond to you as soon as possible. 07443148426
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 […]
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 […]
Unfortunately that item is sold out in that size, and is being discontinued.
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 […]
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 […]
The undercover team that had so much success in gathering the information that lead to the suspension of the seal cull at Gardenstown in April returned to Scotland on the 23rd of July, this time accompanied by a new member of the Glasgow Hunt Saboteurs. Their target on this occasion was the salmon farming industry […]
At our AGM in June 2012 a spokesperson from the campaign group “Stop the Cull” addressed those of us present on their belief that the cull could only be successfully sabotaged with a lot of help from hunt sab groups. We were told that we’d have to do thousands of hours of preparatory sett surveying, […]

On Saturday 22nd March the Wye Beagles, in Kent, held their last ever meet, bringing to an end 67 years of hare hunting. Hunt Saboteurs Association Press Officer Lee Moon commented “The demise of the Wye Beagles comes as no surprise to hunt sabs. Since we started targeting the hare hunts three years ago we’ve […]
We the ‘Hunt Saboteurs Association’ are all about direct action in the field, indeed we are the only organisation that directly saves the hunted animal, whether that is a fox or a pheasant or more recently badgers during the cull. Sabs for over 50 years have intervened and disrupted countless hunts saving many thousands of […]
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 […]
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 […]
