Salisbury Plain Hunt Sabs are local to Wiltshire & take action against illegal blood sport.
We will travel to support comrades elsewhere, but are usually to be found in and around Wiltshire itself, protecting wildlife from the unspeakable throwbacks, who tear wild animals apart for fun.
3am and all is quiet at R.A kennels, Bulford. Sabs keeping eyes on this murderous hunt. Shakey ( whipper in ) was pleased to see us as always. Morning Shakey, missed us? Please help us by either joining us or passing any info. This is cubbing season and they need our help and yours. Get in touch via our tip off line or socials. It's time to end the hunt
Guilty ….again !
John “Ollie” Finnegan today at Crewe Magistrates Court was once again found guilty of illegally hunting foxes.
He was originally found guilty of this offence last year, but has for the last 12 months has been asking for retrials, missing court hearings and delaying what was actually the inevitable, so today he got his trial and yet again he was found guilty.
We will provide more details soon, some of it is eye opening. The Magistrates found Cabs members to be very credible witnesses and errr Mr Finnegan not so…..
Once again this conviction is another example of why the Labour government must bring legislation forward immediately to ban trail hunting so men like Finnegan and hunts such as the criminal Cheshire Hunt are consigned into hell and history where they belong.
Many of our fellow wildlife protectors travelled to North Pennines to stop the guns on the first day of the grouse shooting season, known by animal abusers as the ‘Glorious Twelfth’.
Saboteurs from across the country headed to the North Pennines to stop the guns on the first day of the grouse shooting season, known by animal abusers as the 'Glorious Twelfth'.
It's the 12th August so obviously that means Sabs from all over the country are out in the North of England looking for Grouse shoots.
Multiple sab groups have just shut down a shoot on the Wemmergill Estate in County Durham - no more shooting today for these folks.
More updates later ✊
SPHS (Moonrakers) were out before dawn keeping eyes on the despicable O.G syndicate that go by the name Royal Artillery hunt. There was no activity this morning but we are very aware that this group of wildlife bothers, will try and pop out in the late afternoon, early evening to try and avoid our company. Anyone would think they are ashamed of their activity and so they should be. This is cub murdering season be under no illusions this is what they are doing to prepare and train new young hounds. We need all the information we can, if you see horse boxes gathering or small woods being surrounded by multiple horse riders. Please let us know and we will always go and check if we aren't already there. Your help and information saves wildlife. Want to join us drop us a message via our socials or ring direct on the tip off line. It's time to end the hunt.

The British Hound Sports Association (BHSA) is pressing on with plans for ‘Smokescreen Saturday’ which will take place in September. With growing calls for the next Government to close loopholes in the Hunting Act and ban so-called ‘trail hunting,’ the pro-bloodsports lobby group is embarkin...
Even hunting’s supposed ‘governing body’ admit terrier work has no place in what they call ‘trail hunting.’ But as we can see in the picture above, it’s still happening, with devastating consequences for foxes and the terriers themselves.
The Environment Secretary can end terrier work today, by simply removing the ‘code of practise’ written into the Hunting Act.
Share this post to tell Steve Reed that he must ban this practice immediately to stop cruelty!
Yesterday morning, Mendip and North Dorset Hunt Sabs tried to stop the Quantock Stag Hounds from killing a magnificent stag at the start of the new hunting season.
Despite being banned 20 years ago, hunts up and down the country are still chasing and killing wild animals for fun.
Every Thursday we will be sharing quotes from members of the public who have witnessed this cruelty first hand.
If you agree that it's time to end hunting for good, then let our politicians know by clicking the link below, include your own personal experiences if you can. 👇🏼

Thankyou!
We can't thank our followers, supporters, and the enough.

Dear HSA Supporter,

This coming Monday morning - 29th July at 8am - we are releasing a new video voiced by our good friend Chris Packham
The video attempts the impossible task of capturing the cruelty, chaos and criminality of hunting in just two minutes!
Together with Chris Packham, we are calling on the new Labour government to make good on their manifesto promise to ban the ‘smokescreen’ of trail hunting.
But there is no time to waste - we are demanding that they strengthen the Hunting Act in their first hundred days in office.
As an HSA supporter, we ask that you share the video far and wide, so that the new government is left in no doubt about the strength of feeling on this issue!
Thank you,
HSA Committee
📢 𝗪𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣 📢
We're calling on the new Labour government to strengthen the Hunting Act in their first 100 days.
On Monday at 8am we'll be releasing our new campaign video voiced by Chris Packham - and we NEED you to share it widely.
It's time for the Labour Government to make good on it's manifesto promise to put an end to the smokescreen of trail hunting.
The HSA is today urging its thousands of supporters to get behind the campaign to free legendary anti-whaling activist Captain Paul Watson, who has been arrested by Danish police in Nuuk, Greenland.
The Hunt Saboteurs Association summer campaign continues, with hunters hit in the East Midlands and East Anglia at the weekend.
Pro-bloodsports group the British Hound Sports Association (BHSA) claims it will hold a ‘National Trail Hunting Day’ on Saturday 14th September 2024.
Please help us highlight to the new defence secretary, the need to stop giving licences to bu ts like the Royal Artillery and protect our wildlife on Salisbury Plain.
We’re calling on new Defence Secretary, John Healey, to do the right thing and end the Ministry of Defence facilitation of illegal fox and hare hunting!
Hunts are killing animals on publicly owned land after being licenced by the MOD, showing disregard to other land users & MOD staff in the process, and some hunts are even being housed on military bases at the expense of the taxpayer.
📧 Please email [email protected] and ask him to stop giving hunts a licence to kill on public land! (John Healey)
Keep correspondence polite and related to the issue at hand, and tailor the email to include anything else you feel is relevant, including any personal experience

Chris Packham Says: Hounds Off Our Wildlife!
TV conservationist, national treasure and hunt sab supporter, Chris Packham, has written an exclusive article for the Summer 2024 edition of HOWL – originally Hounds Off Our Wildlife – the magazine of the Hunt Saboteurs Association.
As well as Chris’ article, this 40-page issue carries features on Irish hare coursing, how to ‘help a toad across the road’ and news from our sixty-plus affiliated groups!
HSA members receive HOWL three times a year - it is always packed with news and views from the front line in the fight against blood sports.
HOWL has been in continuous production since 1973, making it the oldest – and best – animal rights publication in the world. And, as you’d expect from the HSA, the mountainous task of editing, designing and distributing the magazine is undertaken by a dedicated team of volunteers, meaning much more of your subscription goes directly to saving hunted animals.

Our poorly Wolfe has really been pulled apart. The extent of the corrosion is really apparent now. The garage have said some brackets were so rusted, they weren't sure how they were staying attached!!
Wolfe has been in the garage for just over a week now, and there is still so much more work to do.
Any donations, no matter how small, will really help fund our trusty girl to get her wheels back on the plain by the start of the new season!!
We thank all those who have already donated. As you can see, your money has really helped our group, and without your support, we wouldn't have our vehicle.
THANK YOU! 🦊

Our trusty Wolfe has gone into the garage this week to have her chassis replaced!
She's being a very good patient and is letting the mechanics work their magic.
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far, we wouldn't have been able to contemplate this work without your support.
If you would like to help our group continue the hard work as the new season looms around the corner with cubbing season, we would be most grateful.

After much speculation the General Election has finally been called and will take place on 4th July 2024. With this comes a likely change in Government, and the biggest chance yet that the law will be changed to make the Hunting Act 2004 fit for purpose, actually banning the hunting of wild animals....
Hunt sabs have been in action against mink hunts at opposite ends of the country this week. On Friday, sabs from across Yorkshire shut down a meet of the Northern Counties Hunt; yesterday, North Dorset sabs confronted the Courtenay Tracy Mink Hounds on the riverbank.

As the end of the hunting season comes to a close, it’s time to take stock of the massive efforts we have all put into stopping this illegal act. We have kept the pressure on the Royal Artillery Hunt this season with a total of 26 cubbing kennel watches, as if hunting foxes isn’t enough, they train the hounds with the cubs before the season starts! We have had 30 successful days where we made sure of no kills. We also had time to sab the Tedworth Hunt twice. We’ve been supported by other sab groups including Surrey Hunt Sabs and North Downs Hunt Sabs several times during the season too. We are so grateful for all the kind and supportive messages we have received during this season along with the financial support from both our followers and the Hunt Saboteurs Association. All your constant support allows us to continue the fight to keep our beautiful wildlife safe from harm. THANK YOU! Long run the fox paypal.me/moonrakerhuntsabs
Single sab being accused of harassing the hunt after they approached and surrounded him.
Footage from viscous attack on sab from same day as Carter attacks female sab. Angela Davis a regular has previously attacked this same sab on numerous occasions. More incriminating footage has now been forwarded to the relevant authorities.
Carter looses it
This poor horse being used as a road block. Not sure what Sam is trying to capture on her GoPro?
Carter has shown his true colours and his lack of respect for anything or anyone. He asked Sabs to move away and then followed them in a historical rant! Hunt staff came to protect Sabs from his tirade.
Simon (Shakey) Hands in the Bush. Sam Bailek, R.A trail liar, has certainly laid a complex trail for them 10.2.24. Trail liars. https://paypal.com/paypalme/moonrakerhuntsabs
30/12/23 - Sabs stood back and made way for the hunt to safely cross this very busy road. One rider took it upon herself to detour and ride behind our vehicle and between Sabs! She then had the nerve to become verbally abusive when Sabs asked why she had done this!
23/12/23. Royal Artillery Foxhounds.. Packed up early, sabs/monitors with them all day. Lots of alcohol consumed by them all. No kills, many foxes seen to safety. Merry Christmas to all our followers and a hunt free new year!
As if they couldn't get more vile, the criminal gangs of blood thirsty criminals, enabled by this corrupt government and their lackeys, showing their true nature. They treat the law with contempt and viciously attack anyone who dares stand against their evil illegal deeds. Credit to @channel4news
Video showing hound from last week back with the pack.
An unprovoked attack on one of Sabs.
Distressed hound, struggling to breath in such hot temperatures.
Day report – 26/8/23 So an early start for us, but with the team raring to go, we expected hound exercise but felt we needed to be present to monitor and ensure no illegal hunting was undertaken. It was as such, bikes, and Benny Hill coats however, we also usefully confirmed that the new Kennelman is as we thought Simon Hands who moved from South Dorset and is currently living at the kennels in Bulford, doubtless our taxes contribute to his B&B. Not sure how 'in control' of the dogs, loose on the Plain they were and some already splitting off, they didn't notice one left in the estate next to kennels until it was pointed out to them!! But they didn't look pleased to see us at all! Shame. But that's the thing. On our land illegally hunting our wildlife.... expect us. Long run the fox. #keeptheban #banhunting #antihunt #huntsabs #huntsaboteurs #trailhuntlies #animalrights #animalliberation #animallovers #directaction #directactionsaveslives #endhunting #animalwelfare #saveourwildlife #huntsaboteursassociation PayPal.me/moonrakerhuntsabs
Nando's and the criminal underbelly of wildlife persecution ...... Aaron foulkes (the scumbag currently in the dock for his cruelty to wildlife) the despicable lowlife of the criminal hunting fraternity, names his address as Spye park. Formerly the Avon Vile kennels, now a bit quiet. Whilst I doubt the Enthovens, Nando's owners who also live at the large estate (where the Avon Vile kennels are) when they're not at one of their many other stately homes care.... we're not so sure that their customers would would be so happy to try their new "vegan options" if they realised the company owners enable wildlife criminals? I'm sure we don't need to encourage regular readers not to buy mass produced factory farmed mutant flesh from tortured chickens at rubbish fast food outlets...... But just in case you need a reason not to go to Nando's we wondered do most of their customers know that they support and harbour known criminals? Aside from engaging in the dirty trade of cheap factory farmed meat dressed up with sauces to make it taste less like what it is! We strongly encourage anyone with a shred of conscience or consciousness, not to buy their foul products. #keeptheban #banhunting #antihunt #huntsabs #huntsaboteurs #trailhuntlies #animalrights #animalliberation #animallovers #directaction #directactionsaveslives #endhunting #animalwelfare #saveourwildlife #huntsaboteursassociation

This smokescreen has now obviously gone off the checklist of the Royal Artillery Foxhounds who do not even attempt the pretence of laying a trail anymore. Maybe their riders were not overly impressed by the spectacle, we don't quite know. What we do know is they have completely stopped this charade and for the majority of the last season they simply hunted in the traditional and totally illegal way. No pretending, just hunting, regardless of where and whose watching. Nothing to see here then? .......Expect us. Long run the Fox.
We have been reliably informed due to the fact that local people of Rushall and ourselves reporting to Wiltshire rural crime team the planned shooting of nesting crows, due to "not liking the sound" has now been rethought. Thank you Wiltshire rural crime team for responding in a professional and supportive role. Moonrakers are always happy to work alongside other groups and services in defending all our precious wildlife. All information is always treated with utmost confidentiality. This time of year we are all still working to protect wildlife and would love others to join us. If you think you might want to join us drop us a DM.
Following on from the channel 4 report that showed how fox hunting is still taking place across the country under the guise of trail hunting. We have continued our fight to stop this on Salisbury plain and have documented time and time again when the RA have been blatantly hunting, not calling off hounds and having a trail layer who always seems to be at the back of the field or is more interested in filming us than actually laying a valid trail. The RA are intent on continuing in their blood sport backed by those in power within the government! We are intent on stopping this illegal activity and holding those responsible to account for their actions (or lack of!)
