Sabs from eight different groups joined forces last week to sab the annual Two Bridges Hunt Club meet on Dartmoor.
Here at HSA Towers, we are used to hearing hunters come up with delusional theories, far fetched stories and generally bonkers alternative realities. However, last week their fantasist-in-chief the factually challenged Mr Tim Bonner, came out with an impressive pack of fibs on his personal venting platform, the Countryside Alliance blog.
Warning: this post contains distressing images The disembowelled body of a fox was found in an unnamed wood near Hankerton in Wiltshire on 7th February 2024, just
19 years ago today the press assembled, sabs popped champagne corks and hunters spoke of outright defiance as a new law was enacted aimed at stopping the cruelty of hunting with hounds.
Inspired by Gregg Wallace’s recent article, a Hunt Sab talks us through their typical Saturday.
On Saturday the 17th February, almost exactly 19 years after fox hunting was made illegal, the army will host a meet of the notorious Quorn Hunt at the Defence Animal Training Regiment Headquarters at Remount Barracks, Melton Mowbray. Soldiers will be on duty to facilitate the meet and the entire event will be funded by taxpayers money.
We have been reliably informed, from several independent sources, that the Oakley hunt will fold at the end of this season.
A couple of weeks ago, the HSA reported on the merger of two of the south east’s last remaining fox hunts. The new outfit will be known as the ‘Southdown & Eridge with East Sussex & Romney Marsh Hunt.’ Not exactly catchy, is it?
The Royal Agricultural College Beagles are the student hare hunt of the Royal Agricultural University based in Cirencester. They have been feeling the pressure recently, with 7 hunting days lost to sabs so far this season. Frustrated, on Saturday they turned to the age-old hunt tactic of intimidation.
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
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
