20 years later, they’re still hunting, so we’re still sabbing.

Trail hunting used as 'smokescreen' 20 years on from ban The national policing lead on fox hunting crime believes many hunts are routinely flouting the ban.

A senior police officer believes the ban on fox hunting is still regularly being broken 20 years after it was introduced.

A little bird has told us there will be a section on 20 years of the Hunting Act on today's episode of Countryfile.

BBC One. 17:00

The Warwickshire Hunt today was met with focused and determined sabbing.
Good teamwork between us all saw numerous foxes escape and a worn down hunt at the end of the day 🖤

We will keep on with our relentless campaigning and sabbing as our battle for truth,transparency and justice rages on.

Investigation: Safari Zoo, Cumbria (2022) Born Free visited South Lakes Safari Zoo, Cumbria, to investigate conditions in which animals are being held, following public reports of concern.

Investigation from the 17th October 2022.

- www.bornfree.org.uk/raise-the-re...

South Lakes Safari Zoo to close to the public Born Free welcomes the announcement by zoo operators that the zoo is to close to the public at the end of 2024.

🚨This is brilliant news. It was incredibly unsettling to hear what the Born Free foundation investigation uncovered and it is therefore welcome news to know that this awful “Zoo” will close.

You can read the investigation reports in the comments.

We’re over halfway with my top 20 fox hunting crimes advent with @huntsabs.bsky.social – for day 12 it’s the Warwickshire Hunt . . .

We need a #RealBanNow , email your MP lovera.ge/foxhunting

Hunts up and down the country, hunt with impunity never worried about getting caught. As when they do the punishments are minimal. It’s time the Hunting Act 2004 was amended so that we see an end to incidents like this.

Day 7 of my (b)advent counting down the top 20 worst fox hunting crimes with @huntsabs.bsky.social . . . it’s the infamous Cottesmore Hunt and their paid thugs that try to keep the cameras away

This is why we need a #RealBanNow

Despite the atrocious weather, no doubt some hunts will still force their horses and hounds to go out in pursuit of wildlife tomorrow.

Hunt Saboteurs will be there to make sure they don't have an easy time of it.

Good luck to all groups battling the storm to protect wildlife.

In March 2023 Sabs made a shocking discovery – a fox buried alive underground in a sack . It’s the focus of day 6 of my (b)advent counting down the top 20 worst fox hunting crimes with @huntsabs.bsky.social . . .

#RealBanNow

Day 5 of my (b)advent calendar counting down some of the worst crimes commited by fox hunting groups across the country with @huntsabs.bsky.social . . .

Day 5 of our (b)advent with @chrisgpackham.bsky.social and it highlights hunt violence from the Weston & Banwell with West Somerset Vale Hunt.
