On the west coast for last few days. Much whining goes on about eagles and the damage they do to sheep. Little is ever said about the casual losses of stock in volume which litter the land and enable predators to feed - albeit on carcasses which may contain toxins.

I seem to have upset the @Nigel_Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

In the midst of all the other horrid things this moron said last week was it not the case that he needed no help from us ?

Sell out audience in Thessaloniki for Derek v Derek premier. Lots of questions about how we save failing nature and bridge the divides of many sorts amongst land use groups.

Itโ€™s like weโ€™ve got a tardis and have gone back in time to an ancient medieval savagery! Watching these people who are clearly not laying and following a scent trail but instead are actively hunting foxes on a Saturday morning! Help to stop fox hunting: chrispackh.am/opsmokescreen

Let's see how many of those MPs who attended Boxing Day hunt meets yesterday, defending trail hunting, will have the guts to condemn the BSV hunt today, openly fox hunting across the busy A30. None of the supporters who saw the fox warned the hunt staff that hounds were on a fox and none stepped in to warn traffic until we told them to. Thanks to @NDHuntSabs and other monitors out today. @ProtectTheWild_ @HuntSabs @scruffycop

Just your average stranger hired by the hunt, telling someone to go back indoors as they can't walk on the public footpath while the trail hunt is going through the village.
Replying to @domdyer70
You don't even know half of it with this particular hunt, if they come through your village you can't even leave your front door unless you're a member of the hunt. They employ thugs to keep the public well away, even from public land. Local Police chiefs refuse to do anything!!!

Another week, another sab group captures extraordinary drone footage of the illegal fox hunting that is rampant across the country. This time, it was the Gloucestershire-based Beaufort Hunt โ€“ who used to count King Charles and Camilla amongst their riders โ€“ who were caught out by Wiltshire Hunt Saboteurs. The footage, shot near Chippenham last Thursday, shows a fox being hunted hard over a sustained period. In heart-in-the-mouth scenes, the brave animal repeatedly seeks refuge in strips of woodland, only to be surrounded by the baying pack... Read more โฌ‡๏ธ huntsabs.org.uk/beaufort-busโ€ฆ

Hereโ€™s an interview I did on BBC News about the disappearance of the White-tailed Eagles. We recovered the satellite tags from two of the birds which had clearly been cut off. More info here too roydennis.org/2025/12/17/thrโ€ฆ
