Smokescreen Saturday Sinks Without a Trace
In case you didn’t know – and you almost certainly didn’t – Saturday was National Trail Hunting Day, better known as Smokescreen Saturday. Organised by the pro-hunt British Hound Sports Association, the much-vaunted event was billed as “the day we begin to change minds” on the legitimacy of trail hunting.
Hunting stopped on MOD land!
Hunting has effectively been stopped on Ministry of Defence (MOD) land, with the issuing of licences to hunts currently suspended.
In a Freedom of Information request seen by the Hunt Saboteurs Association (HSA) last week, the MOD confirmed that 11 hunts had applied for licences to use MOD land for so-called ‘trail hunting activities’ ahead of the new hunting season, but that no licences had been issued.
The British Hound Sports Association: Corrupt? Incompetent? …Or Both?
The recently released footage of terriermen from the Axe Vale Harriers pulling a fox and an injured terrier out of a badger sett once again draws into question the legitimacy and authority of hunting’s so-called ‘governing body,’ the British Hound Sports Association (BHSA).
