Avon Vale Hunt – Keeping Magistrates Busy!

More drama this week as the Avon Vale implosion is still being dragged out before the courts. This time, it was the turn of Tom Ledbury, an Avon Vale Hunt terrierman, who was sentenced this week to a 12 month community order requiring him to carry out 240 hours of unpaid work, for his role in a video which surfaced last year following raids conducted by RSPCA and police officers around the country including hunt kennels and the homes of ‘terriermen’.

Hunting Season 2023-24: A Brief Review

A piece like this can never do justice to the week-in, week-out efforts of sabs who venture out in all weathers to face down the hunters. We can’t cover, for example, the 58 hunt meets that Nottingham sabs have attended this season, nor the 55 times Salisbury Plain sabs went out to protect the wildlife of their beloved Plain. What we can do is focus on just a few highlights from the last full hunting season before a much-anticipated General Election.

When the fox hunting old guard were scrambling to explain what they’d be doing after the Hunting Act came into force into 2005, they were keen to make sure everyone knew just how pointless “trail hunting” was, and how urgently they wanted to get back to the good old days of killing foxes legally.

I don’t really have ambitions , I don’t like generating expectations, but there are two things that I would like to see happen before I pop my clogs. One, the end of the fur trade . . . and two, an end to fox hunting. From my perspective they are both vile. Small word vile, but powerful, and it completely encapsulates my contempt and loathing for those who deliberately perpetuate animal cruelty.

Looking forward to the BHSA publishing a trail hunt guide and best practices, should make for interesting reading. Wonder how many defences of law they will put in, to mitigate their members breaching the Hunting Act 2004.

Yesterdays C4 piece using Hunt sabs footage the BHSA claimed that hunts use Clove oil as a fake trail (a new claim).
The primary compound in clove oil, eugenolis toxic to dogs when when applied directly . Symptoms include drooling, vomiting, diarrhea and even respiratory issues.

After last night's @Channel4News piece again focusing on the #WarwickshireHunt and @warkspolice we are pleased to be able to announce that the #Hunt have been charged with #IllegalHunting offences. The case will involve evidence gathered by one of our #HuntSabs
