Who clears up the Beaufort's bloody mess? Well in this video it is the pathetic Bin Bag Betty who removes the black sack with the slaughtered fox's entrails. But later, they are helped to bin the crimes by a police officer who steals the evidence, 1/3๐Ÿงต

Hunt Supporters blamed sabs (and still do), and as far as we know the Mid Devon hunt never commented on the matter. On the day there were no sabs with the Mid Devon Hunt, we were with Stevenstone near Stibb Cross.
As the end of the government consultation into banning โ€˜trail huntingโ€™ gets closer, the pro-hunt community are attempting to pull at heart strings by professing to deeply love their hounds and horses. However, each and every season we hear of and witness abhorrent acts of cruelty towards these animals, who are just as much victims of hunting as our wildlife is. Violence towards animals is a prevalent part of hunting. Whether it is the wildlife that is being hunted, hounds or horses, they are all victims. You can end this cycle of abuse by completing the government consultation into banning โ€˜trail hunting.โ€™ Follow the link in the comments to read more and have your say.

Eggesford Terriermen Tom Bounsall and Jake Crabb were due in court last week, on 3 charges each of interfering with a badger sett. Theyโ€™re due back in court in October.
Eggesford Hunt Terrier men charged with interfering with a badger sett among a โ€œraft of chargesโ€: Thomas Bounsall, 31, of Hessary View, Princetown on Dartmoor, and Jake Crabb, 29, of Penpont View, Altarnun near Launceston, each face three charges from the same day. They have been charged with interfering with a badger sett by damaging it, secondly by obstructing an entrance and thirdly causing a dog to enter it with intent or being reckless as to whether their actions would have that consequence. Bounsall appeared before Barnstaple Magistrates' Court on Friday and pleaded not guilty to the charges which related to an alleged incident at Shears Wood near Riddlecombe, Devon, in November 2024. Crabb did not appear but his lawyer said he too would be denying the charges. The magistrates set a date in October for the trial to be heard.

The 1st May marks the beginning of the hunting season, a date which sees administrative changes taking place before they all gather together, later in the year, to head out and kill wildlife. The 1st of May also means there are 48 days left to respond to the government's consultation into banning "trail hunting." The HSA has provided carefully collated guidelines to assist you in the completion of the consultation, and these can be found at ๐Ÿ‘‰huntsabs.org.uk/ha-campaign/โ€ฆ If you have already completed the consultation, please share with your family, friends and colleagues. Together we can end hunting.

The 2020 leaked Hunting Office webinarsโ€”published by the Hunt Saboteurs Associationโ€”sparked a national scandal and brought down huntingโ€™s governing body. It exposed the โ€œtrail huntโ€ smokescreenโ€”how performative laying of smokescreen trails in front of observers, is used to disguise illegal hunting. The disgraced Hunting Office later re-emerged as the British Hound Sports Association. New name. Same smokescreen. The architect of the webinarsโ€”Lord (now plain old Baron) Mancroft has even been appointed to lead huntings โ€œWestminster advisory groupโ€. You couldnโ€™t make it up. The aftermath exposed years of wildlife crime, implicating both landowners and police. Hunts lost land access, and the police (sometimes) finally began to shape up. The incoming government made a manifesto promise to ban the smokescreen, and here we are. We are holding them to their promise. Please take part in the government consultation (link is in the comments) we need to make sure this timeโ€”they get it right. You can also revisit the Webinars here ๐Ÿ‘‰ huntsabs.org.uk/mass-criminaโ€ฆ

Nigel Farage, director of Reform 2025 Ltd, is on record on numerous occasions redoubling down on his stance to repeal any hunting laws that this government brings into protect wildlife, should he be elected into government. Reform have also previously stated they would repeal the original hunting act, making it legal to course hares, and hunt foxes with packs of dogs. Reform are being backed by fox hunters - and fox hunters are backed by Reform. Send a message next months local elections to these bloodthirsty lowlifes that we wonโ€™t stand for politicianโ€™s who destroy our beloved British wildlife.

Iโ€™m sure the BHSA will be clawing to suspend the only recently formed Vale of Taunton and Banwell Harriers after this convictionโ€ฆ rightโ€ฆ?
๐†๐”๐ˆ๐‹๐“๐˜โ€ผ๏ธ The Vale of Taunton and Banwell Harriers huntsman, Wayne Greggory pleaded ๐†๐”๐ˆ๐‹๐“๐˜ this morning in Taunton magistrateโ€™s court, to hunting a wild animal with dogs, contrary to Section 1, The Hunting Act 2005. He was fined ยฃ250, and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of ยฃ100, and ยฃ85 court costs. The illegal hunt was filmed on Somerset Sabs drone last November at a meet in Chilton Trinity, near Bridgwater, Somerset. Well done to all those involved in securing the conviction, Somerset Sabs and Avon and Somerset Police. If youโ€™d like to have your say on so-called โ€œtrail huntingโ€ please complete the consultation.
